Redemption is another short lived South African based drama that was co-produced by two of the most notable production companies; Seriti Films, who are known for their masterful storytelling and Burnt Onion Productions, who deliver world-class productions.
Set in a mega church, centres on the Zikode family. After the disappearance of Pastor Simon Zikhode (Themba Ndaba), his daughter Faith (Kwanele Mthethwa), who is on the cusp of an international music career, drops everything to come to her family's rescue.
The cast includes Tina Jaxa, Sthandiwe Kgoroge, Seputla Sebogodi, Yonda Thomas, Pearl Modiadie, Sparky Xulu and newcomers Nkone Mamejta and Toka Mtabane.
Redemption debuted sometime in 2022 as replacement BET's first original soap, Isono and with luck the series managed to attract 80000 households following its expansion from the Compact bouquet over to Access with the latter expected to air on e.tv.
Following the cutback of international programming on e.tv, eMedia Investments has been looking to build their original portfolio with eKasi on eReality and Kuiertyd on eExtra and have even managed to establish partnerships with Amazon Prime Video and BET for content.
Redemption comes as one of the several local projects eMedia Investments has in store for consumers with The Black Door set to get a prequel titled Isitha: The Enemy.
