After making history on South African television with its groundbreaking seven-day-a-week broadcast in July, Scandal! is returning to its regular five-day schedule starting in September.
The popular e.tv soapie treated its loyal viewers to an unforgettable winter experience, airing every day of the week for the first time in its long-running history. According to Sunday World, in a statement the show described this special arrangement as a “winter indulgence” that kept fans warm and entertained during the colder months.
“The extended seven-day airing was a special treat. It was designed to keep audiences warm and entertained during the chilly season. With offerings of non-stop drama, suspense, and heartfelt moments,” the statement reads. “It allowed our audience to indulge in a week-long feast of emotional highs and lows, with back-to-back episodes, each more gripping than the last.”
Now, as Scandal! transitions back to its usual five-day format, the excitement is far from over. The show promises even more intrigue with the introduction of new characters and two fresh families set to shake things up. Among the actors joining the cast are Londeka Sishi, Nombulelo Mhlongo, and Kwenzo Ngcobo, adding new layers to the show’s already rich tapestry of relationships, secrets, and power struggles.
