Netflix has just released its latest South African gem, "Blood Legacy," a gripping series which takes viewers deep into the intriguing and often murky waters of the powerful Ndlovu family, whose wealth is rivalled only by their chilling secrets.

Created and written by Diego Gutierrez, the show is set against the stunning landscapes of KwaZulu-Natal.

"Blood Legacy" offers a compelling narrative that explores family ties, betrayal, and the haunting grip of the past.

Adapted from the acclaimed series "Monarca," this new addition to the Netflix lineup has quickly captured the hearts of viewers.

This star-studded drama features some of the best talent in the industry, including Xolile Tshabalala, Anthony Oseyemi, Pallance Dladla, Buyile Mdladla, and the late Connie Chiume.

The emotional weight of the series is palpable, with viewers connecting deeply to the storylines. @BekithembaZ reflected poignantly, “You’re only as good as your last show,’ they say. And if that’s the case then… Rest eternally mama, uyibekile induku ebandla.”

Fans are also buzzing about the intricate storytelling. @xoli_s shared their enthusiasm, stating, “SA killed this series. Cast good, storyline good, editing twist good! Loved how they touched on how rich kids get away with things, the female CEO in a male-dominated industry suffers, and money makes the rich wicked. #BloodLegacy”
