What is the Netflix show about?
A brief synopsis of Blood and Water is that Puleng, a 16-year-old high school girl, is trying to find her missing sister, Phumelele. Her sister was a victim of kidnapping shortly before Puleng was born. Her investigation starts after she attends a party hosted by Fikile, a student at Parkhurst College in Cape Town.
Wade, one of Puleng’s friends, notices that she and Fikile resemble each other. This leads Puleng to suspect that Fikile could be her kidnapped sister, Phumelele. She decides to investigate this and goes to Parkhurst. The cliffhanger at the end of Season 1 is when Puleng reveals to Fikile that they are related.
It is likely Season 2 of Blood and Water will carry on from where Season 1 left off, with Puleng investigating the mystery. If you haven’t seen Season 1 of this South African drama, catch it now on Netflix. Meanwhile, fans will wait for an announcement that Season 2 is about to be released.
