Unfollowed S1-2

Season 2 of Unfollowed plunges even deeper into the intricate world of cancel culture. Following the remarkable success of Season 1 — one of the 10 most-watched shows on Showmax in 2023 — the talk show continues to explore the personal and professional fallout experienced by those thrust into the public eye.

Now hosted by former Umhlobo Wenene presenter Spitch Nzawumbi, Season 2 guests include SAFTA nominee Bujy, Mel Viljoen from The Real Housewives franchise, and Pastor Mboro.

Unfollowed is produced by G.O.A.T, who were also behind the SAFTA-winning Life With Kelly Khumalo and the reality TV phenomenon The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls’ Trip - South Africa.
