Kelders van Geheime and House of Zwide Take Their Final Bow on e.tv

Two of e.tv's beloved dramas, Kelders van Geheime and House of Zwide, will draw to a close in 2026, concluding their creative arcs at the height of their storytelling power as the channel looks ahead to fresh programming.

House of Zwide will air its final episode on 26 June 2026, after five seasons that turned a fashion dynasty into one of South African television's most compelling worlds. The drama launched careers, built a loyal and passionate fanbase, and offered audiences a rare portrayal of ambition, legacy, and resilience set against the glamour and grit of the local fashion industry.

Kelders van Geheime will follow, concluding on 28 August 2026. The Afrikaans telenovela became a cultural talking point, drawing viewers into a world of buried secrets, fractured loyalties, and hard-won redemption. Its impact was recently recognised with eight nominations at the 19th South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs), a testament to the calibre of its cast, crew, and creative team.

Both series were conceived as complete stories with natural endpoints. Concluding them at their creative peaks, rather than stretching beyond their intended arcs, reflects e.tv's commitment to quality storytelling and respect for its audiences. Together, these two series have set a benchmark for what South African drama can achieve, and their conclusions open the door for exciting new stories on the channel.

e.tv sincerely thanks the talented casts, crews, writers, producers, and our wonderful partners, K Films, Bomb Production, and Videovision Entertainment, for their passion in bringing these stories to life. We are especially grateful to the millions of viewers who welcomed Kelders van Geheime and House of Zwide into their homes and hearts. Your support means everything to us.

On 26 June 2026, the House closes its doors. On 28 August 2026, the cellar doors follow.

Two worlds. Countless secrets. One heartfelt goodbye, and new stories to tell.
