Viewers of Netflix’s acclaimed super-novella The Polygamist<\/i> received encouraging news from actress Gugu Gumede, who hinted at a possible continuation beyond its inaugural season. Gumede, who plays Joyce Gomora, recently communicated how audiences can support the effort for a second season of the series.<\/p>\n

The first season concluded dramatically with the demise of the central figure, Jonasi Gomora, who died due to complications related to untreated HIV. Despite this apparent finality, Gumede implied that the storyline may not be entirely resolved, leaving fans hopeful about the prospects for a Season 2.<\/p>\n

In her video, Gumede expressed her appreciation for the significant support from audiences globally, particularly recognizing the immense encouragement the show has garnered.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGuys, this is incredible. Thank you so much for the support. Honestly. And people keep complaining that they’re watching from all over, so I can’t say thank you to the support from South Africans. Thank you to the support from everyone all over the globe. And you guys have put us in the number two spot globally. And let’s take it up to number one,\u201d Gugu Gumede said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How fans can ensure The Polygamist<\/i> returns for Season 2<\/h2>\n

She also outlined how international audiences might enhance their viewing experience.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBut I do want to say a quick PSA to everyone watching from English-speaking countries, please, I understand the French-speaking countries, the Portuguese-speaking countries, I understand those types of places, but the English-speaking countries, the Americans, the Brits watch with the original language? Zulu with subtitles. OK. Watch in Zulu with subtitles. It’s gonna change your whole experience,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, Gumede elaborated on how fans could potentially influence the likelihood of a second season on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAnd secondly, once you have reached the end of the show, guys, and Netflix asks you, ‘Do you like this? Do you love it?\u2019 Give it a heart, and that’s how you’re gonna get your season 2, OK? I love you,\u201d she suggested.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

SA reacts after Gugu Gumede hints at The Polygamist<\/i> Season 2<\/h2>\n

Reactions from social media users were swift and showcased a range of perspectives concerning the potential second season.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the comments:<\/p>\n

@solobhoni inquired:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSeason 2 talking about what?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

@YS_Yutu replied:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHopefully not. Great show, enjoyed it. But not every show needs a season 2. It would purely be a money grab. Is there even a second book for source material? Because these shows always go left when they start thinking for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

@iam_dennison speculated:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMaybe 🤔 it was Jonasi dreaming all along with his behaviour 😂 who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

@MakotiAshes expressed:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe don’t want a season 2. Let’s leave it. I know they’re excited because of the international recognition, and they will want to ride that wave. But it’s enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

@MalomeTJ questioned:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat’s gonna happen in season 2? Lindani and Jonasi Jr repeat the cycle? Do we need that as a country?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Okay so we might get a season 2 of Thy Polygamist pic.twitter.com\/xjkK0PocWP<\/a><\/p>— Anoosha \u196b\u1b61\ud83d\udc95 (@HeyAnoosha__) June 24, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
