Gqeberha The Empire is reportedly coming to an end after season 1.
It was said that the TV drama is canceled due to the poor pay and ill-treatment of actors.
An insider revealed that they were moved to Port Elizabeth but lived in dumps.
It was also reported that actors are underpaid and they even got starved on set.
The TV series replaced The Queen but it was rumored last year that it had financial problems.
“Qhebhera The Empire, which will replace The Queen, is rumoured to be embroiled in financial drama. Actors pay delayed. Sources inform me the show is budgeted at R86-million, and partly funded by Eastern Cape govt.,” Phil revealed in 2022.
