The wait is almost over! Unseen is back—and if you thought season one was intense, buckle up because season two is coming in hot.
Netflix South Africa just dropped the official trailer for the new season of the gripping crime thriller. The six-part series returns on Friday, May 2, 2025, and let’s just say: Zenzi is not done fighting for her life—or her truth—just yet.
For those who need a quick refresher: Unseen follows Zenzile Mwale (played by Blood & Water‘s Gail Mabalane), a seemingly quiet house cleaner whose world flips upside down after her husband goes missing following his release from prison. What starts as a desperate search quickly spirals into a string of deadly encounters, putting Zenzi in the crosshairs of Cape Town’s criminal underworld.
Now in the second season, Zinzi’s behind bars, temporarily, and still out for revenge.
Joining Gail Mabalane areDineo Langa, Waldemar Schultz, Ilse Klink, Siv Ngesi, Sindi Dlathu, Kevin Smith, and Erica Wessels as the hard-nosed Detective Visser.
One major highlight: the late, great Sello Motloung will appear in the upcoming season as Zenzi and Naledi’s father.
Inspired by the Turkish Netflix series Fatma, Unseen reimagines the story in the heart of present-day Cape Town. What makes this version hit different? The local grit, layered storytelling, and a lead character who’s anything but one-dimensional. Zenzi may look like she blends into the background, but underestimate her at your own risk.
And now, season two promises even higher stakes, more secrets, and some serious heat.
As if all that wasn’t enough to get you hyped, the trailer hints at even more bloodshed, betrayal, and a tangled conspiracy that runs deeper than Zenzi—or viewers—ever imagined. If season one was about survival, season two looks like a battle for redemption.
So mark your calendars, grab your popcorn, and prepare to dive back into the dark, dangerous world of Unseen. Because come May 2nd, Zenzi’s story continues—and this time, she’s not holding back.
