The popular show will reportedly get replaced by Gqeberha The Empire in 2023.

Talented actor Themba Ndaba, who plays the role of Brutus Khoza in The Queen has landed the role of Pastor Simon Zikode in BET's new drama series Redemption.

Ndaba told Daily Sun that his new role is different from Uncle Brutus and viewers shouldn't hope to see his popular role in the BET show.

If they say they're following this show because they want to see Brutus, they will not see him. If The Queen fans want to see a totally different person, they should watch. They will see a mega church, the people in it, and more. Each person in society will see themselves in this story, we guarantee that.

Ndaba adds that he worked hard to bring his new character to life and that the challenge was trying to make his new role believable so people must forget about his previous character.

Unlike Brutus, Pastor Zikode is loving, has a wife, children, and a family, and is in the dirt.

Actress Jessica Nkosi as Zozi in Lavish'. Image via Twitter @SundayWorld JESSICA NKOSI JOINS LAVISH' Actress Jessica Nkosi, who bid farewell to her role as Thando Sebata in The Queen stars in Mzansi Magic's Lavish as Zozi.

The actress revealed in an interview with Sunday World that her Lavish role is a fabulous fashionista, who is rich.

In all honesty, she's not only a fabulous fashionista but also rich and knows how to own it, everything with her is over the top and extravagant.

She has so many staff members that help with everything while she just gets to be her best self and live her best life.

Lavish is domestic suspense at its very best. It takes seemingly ordinary people and puts them in an extraordinary situation, pushing them to their limits, and then lets the chaos unfold in front of us. One minute you think she's one way, but desperation makes her behave in another, you can never be sure of what she will do.
