New 'Shaka' series in the works!

Cape Town – Location scouting has started, and casting will begin soon to find an"iconic" place and actors to film M-Net's retelling of the story of the Zulu king Shaka that will be broadcast as a new drama series on Mzansi Magic .

Produced by Bomb Productions, M-Net in May 2018 announced that it has commissioned a 12-episode drama series order to tell the story of King Shaka kaSenzangakhona. The black historical drama series will explore the precolonial South African kingdoms that influenced and gave rise to Shaka Zulu.South Africans and viewers worldwide are familiar with the 10-episode, 1986-series Shaka Zulu from the SABC and Harmony Gold USA that was directed by William C.

"To tell the story of Shaka in this moment is a huge responsibility and a great honour," says Jacob Ntshangase, one of the writers. The new Shaka will also be filmed across South Africa, with Bomb Productions now scouring the country in search of iconic locations while pre-production has started before shooting later this year to recreate the world in which Shaka lived and reigned.
