The comedy filled series stars some of Mzansi’ famous faces like Thando Thabethe, Saint Seseli, Rami Chuene, Thabang Mahlangu and Trevor Gumbi.

Many people are captivated by the actors’ enthralling performances. According to SowetanLIVE, Rami Chuene gave Thando her flowers for her exceptional acting abilities.

“Thando has been that girl everyone sees as trying to dabble in everything but one thing I can tell you is that she is ridiculously talented when it comes to acting – her comedic timing, her silence and awareness of knowing when to speak and when not to speak while in character.

“She completely blew me away with her acting. One can call her a ‘new’ actor but when I look at her I believe she will be highly recognised in the next two to three years. I remember watching her from afar and saying to myself that ‘she’s actually nailing it’.” said Rami.

Considering the cliffhanger ending of season one, the second season promises to be just as entertaining. This season, there will be no merry return as they will be planning a funeral.

It will be Beauty and Sbu’s first wedding anniversary, Lydia and Themba’s first Christmas as parents and the family’s first Christmas without their beloved matriarch, Gogo Twala who unfortunately passes away after a fun-filled day under the not-so-watchful eye of Tumi Sello.

We follow the bereaved family to KwaZulu-Natal as they quickly band together on Christmas Day to plan the burial of Gogo Twala, which comes with its own set of challenges as the chief mourners descend into town to ensure a smooth service and After Tears reception. We find out more about the vivacious Gogo Twala, who, of course, has her own secrets (did we expect anything less?) and dive deeper into the inner workings of the couples and families as the story unfolds.

The show’s creator, Rethabile Ramaphakela recently commented on the second season of the show, saying, “Off the back of season 1, we know the audience wants answers so now, they will finally get them as we invite everyone back into the lives of the Sellos and Twalas. How to Ruin Christmas season 2 will still bring that chaotic but relatable family drama with everyone’s favourite black sheep, Tumi Sello, at the centre of it all.

We have some new faces joining the cast as well as a big twist that will have you reaching for your tissues. We are so proud that, together with Netflix, we are able to spread some Christmas cheer once again in true South African style”.
