Netflix’s Queen Sono has been dethroned: The streamer has cancelled its first African original series despite previously renewing it for Season 2.
The action series followed the titular Queen Sono (Quantico‘s Pearl Thusi), a highly trained top spy in a South African agency whose purpose was to better the lives of African citizens.
“We’ve made the difficult decision not to move forward with season 2 of Queen Sono,” Netflix said in a statement.
According to South African news outlet Channel24, the renewal was rescinded due to production challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
