WATCH: The very first episode of The Herd online now
The Herd Season 2 is currently streaming on Showmax, with new episodes every Sunday night, express from the Mzansi Magic broadcast.
But if you’ve missed out on any of the supernatural drama, start from the very beginning by watching episode 1 right now:
Drama with a touch of the supernatural makes The Herd a must-watch. Nominated for five SAFTAs this year, including Best Drama, The Herd is about Bheki (Sello Maake Ka-Ncube in a SAFTA-nominated role), who made his fortune with the help of the witch Ma’Mngadi (Winnie Ntshaba) – at an unbearable price.
Now that you’re hooked, catch up on the whole of Season 1 on Showmax, and then stream new episodes every week to find out what’s in store for the Mthethwa family in the second season. Ma’Mngadi’s troubles are far from over, and her children have some impossible choices to make to protect their father’s legacy, their land and their wealth.
