South African soapie Scandal! is coming to an end after two decades on air.
In a statement, e.tv publicist Tsheghofatso Kolotse confirmed that the final episode will air in June 2026.
“The everchanging television landscape requires broadcasters to consistently review all programming and scheduling, and we believe that Scandal! has reached the end of its life cycle,” the statement reads.
Kolotse described Scandal! as one of the most successful and longest-running soap operas in South African television history.
Media reports indicate that the soapie has in recent years struggled to keep audiences, with more viewers turning to ad-free streaming platforms like Showmax and Netflix.
