Season 2
An uncle dramatically rescuing his sister and their nephews from dangerous mobsters, and a new boss for the family business: the first season of Grootboom & Sons ended on an explosive note.
Now the family dynasty drama is back for Season 2.
Picking up six months after the end of the first season, Mbulelo is about to become a father twice over – and he wants to marry both the women he impregnated.
How will it work out for him?
On the other hand, his brother Zola is laying low, trying to step up and grow up, hoping to finally break away from the family business.
Reprising their roles are Zandile Msutwana (as Funeka), Mbasa Msongelo (Zola), Luzuko Nkqeto (MK), Neo Mekgwe (Kefilwe), Nommangaliso Tebeka (Imani) and Sibulele Gcilitshana (Vuyo).
Joining the cast is Thembekile Komani (Nkululeko) in the role of Mbulelo, who was played by Bongile Mantsai in Season 1.
Season 2 sees new characters liven up the funeral home: Lulu (Thami Mngqolo, Saints and Sinners), MK's fresh-from-prison long-lost son; and Lorraine (Keke Mphuthi, Unmarried), the boisterous mother of his child.
How will their entry into everyone's lives shift the dynamics?
Can the family keep their business intact, or will competitors swoop in, wiping out a dynasty?
Rounding out the cast are Zinhle Mabena (Isibaya), Mapaseka Koetle (Scandal!), Liopelo Maphathe (Durban Gen), musician Nkosana 'Bozza' Nkosi and Gabriel Mini (Housekeepers).
