Queen Sono was a fan favourite from the moment it premiered on South African shores. The cast contained the likes of the talented Loyiso Madinga and Vuyo Dabula. Many viewers were holding thumbs to see what season two has to offer them. Like most good productions, fans lost Queen Sono to Covid. Production on the show was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances revolving around the coronavirus, reports Youthvillage. Viewers across the globe have been asking Pearl what exactly is happening with the Netflix production. Thusi took to Twitter to respond.
Fans of the show have created petitions to bring the show back and hopped on to the comments of Pearl’s post to share their thoughts. @malusindlea shared his opinion, saying: “Queen Sono is too revolutionary. The government prefers nonsensical things like Uzalo that showcase black people as thieves and no community structure. Queen Sono shows a young black woman dribbling white super powers.”

The celeb is handling the change gracefully and made a note to publicly wish Nomalanga well on the journey.
