A First Look at Netflix’s New Drama Series, Blood Legacy

The CEO of Spear Industries is found dead in the sugarcane fields of KwaZulu-Natal, sparking a fierce battle among his children for the control of the multibillion-rand corporation. This gripping new drama series, Blood Legacy, is set to debut exclusively on Netflix on 20 September 2024. 

Siblings Khanyi Adesina (Xolile Tshabalala), Mandla Ndlovu (Buyile Mdladla), and Siya Ndlovu (Mike Ndlangamandla) are locked in a war that extends far beyond the boardroom: Legacies are on the line, and betrayal lurks at every turn. This high-stakes 20-episode drama plunges into a world where corruption, greed, and power collide, pushing the siblings to confront the limits of loyalty.
