The series reaches its conclusion in October 2023 as M-Net strives to keep abreast of changing consumer viewership preferences, reports MNET.

Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net said in a statement: We are committed to bringing the best content to our viewers and, as such, we have to be responsive to their changing needs and preferences. This means that we have to bid farewell to beloved shows like Gomora, but we are excited to bring you new, fresh, and exciting content.

It is believed talented actors Siphesihle Ndaba, who plays Mazet and Katlego Danke, who plays Thati won't be in the fourth season.

The Seriti Films production debuted on 30 March 2020, three days after the lockdown, a situation which the show's Executive Producer Leanne Khumalo describes like so:

Gomora has been an incredible journey, paved with many special milestones and memories. When we started this show, we were on the brink of lockdown. The crew and cast formed a special bond during this time. Gomora grew into a family and this power dynamic was shared and experienced on screen.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN GOMORA' SEASON FOUR TVSA adds that fans of the telenovela Gomora can expect intense action and an emotional rollercoaster in season four.

Sonto (played by Connie Chiume) world is rocked and she grapples with her emotions post the killing. The absence of Mazet (Siphesihle Ndaba) and Thathi (Katlego Danke) turns the Molefe household upside down throughout the season and Sonto moves from one desperate act to even more dangerous decisions.

Zodwa (Sannah Mchunu) and Bongani (Thulani Mtsweni) will get married and Sibongile played by Nandipha Khubone will give birth to her and Scara's (Wonder Ndlovu) baby.

It is unclear from the teasers if Siibongile will give her baby up for adoption as the teaser reads: unsure whether she can care for her child, makes a premature decision that will have long-term consequences .

News24 reports that Mzansi Magic is committed to finding a suitable alternative to Gomora which will be announced soon.
