DAM' RENEWED FOR SECOND SEASON Filming for the second season of DAM is underway in Adelaide and Bedford in the Eastern Cape. The series was one of the 10 most watched titles on Showmax in 2021 and the most nominated TV drama going into this weekend's SAFTAs.

Season two of DAM is set three months after the cult's ritual sacrifice, which seems to have worked. Rain has come and transformed the land. Yola is missing Sienna fears she is dead but diamonds, and skeletons, are about to be found.

This show remains unlike anything else on TV in South Africa. It's going to be another twisty and twisted season of love triangles, monsters, and more suppressed memories being uncovered, said Alex Yazbek.
