Two of e.tv's beloved dramas, "Kelders van Geheime" and "House of Zwide", will conclude in 2026, as the channel looks ahead to fresh programming.
"House of Zwide", after five seasons, will air its final episode on June 26, 2026. The drama launched careers, built a loyal and passionate fanbase, and offered audiences a rare portrayal of ambition, legacy, and resilience set against the glamour and grit of the local fashion industry.
"Kelders van Geheime" will follow, concluding on August 28, 2026. The Afrikaans telenovela became a cultural talking point, drawing viewers into a world of buried secrets, fractured loyalties, and hard-won redemption.
Its impact was recently recognised with eight nominations at the 19th South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas), a testament to the calibre of its cast, crew, and creative team.
e.tv explained that both series were conceived as complete stories with natural endings.
"Concluding them at their creative peaks, rather than stretching beyond their intended arcs, reflects e.tv's commitment to quality storytelling and respect for its audiences. Together, these two series have set a benchmark for what South African drama can achieve, and their conclusions open the door for exciting new stories on the channel," read the statement.
e.tv, in the statement, thanked the talented casts, crews, writers, producers, and partners, K Films, Bomb Production, and Videovision Entertainment, for their passion in bringing these stories to life.
"We are especially grateful to the millions of viewers who welcomed 'Kelders van Geheime' and 'House of Zwide' into their homes and hearts. Your support means everything to us."
Last year, e.tv announced that "Scandal!" had reached the end of its life cycle and would be on air until the end of June 2026.
