It’s a wrap for Legacy cast and crew. The team bid farewell to each other yesterday as they wrapped up the show. It was announced late last year that the show has been canceled after two seasons. The show’s lead actress Kgomotso Christopher took to her social media platforms to give fans a sneak peek inside their farewell party. She thanked her colleagues and the production for the opportunity.
She wrote, “LEG-ACY…last night things & final goodbyes! I’m going to miss every single one of my colleagues…the hardest working crew I’ve ever had the privilege to work with and my incredibly talented cast members.
“@tshedzapictures family….thank you for the journey! To blessed new beginnings and new chapters…as our Director @andrejfo would say….”Injaaaaaalo #LegacySA #PictureWrap.
Our viewership surveys guide us to adapt our content to the evolving needs of our customers. Whilst Legacy is a popular show, our M-net 101 customers have indicated that they now want more limited series rather than long-running telenovelas. The success of our local strategy depends on how well we tune into what our customers would like to see on their screens.”
UPDATE: Statements from channel and producers of #LegacySA on the cancellation of the show
