Netflix has officially dropped the trailer for Season 3 of its hit South African crime thriller. The message is loud and clear: the throne is under threat. With supernatural forces returning, old enemies resurfacing and a powerful new rival hungry for blood, the Masire family faces their biggest war yet.
What You Need to Know
Season 3 premieres on Friday, 13 June 2025. It picks up right where the explosive second season left off. At the heart of the action are the Masire siblings—Mo Masire (Zolisa Xaluva) and Veronica (Connie Ferguson). They are now locked in a battle not just for power but for survival.

After holding Joburg’s criminal underworld in a tight grip, the Masires are now forced into a defensive position. A new enemy has entered the arena: Gavin Salat, a ruthless, power-hungry threat played by Clint Brink. Salat isn’t merely interested in upsetting the balance between forces. Rather, he wants to crush the Masire empire and claim the city as his own.
But the Masires are not about to fold. Mo—cunning and increasingly brutal—knows what’s at stake. And Veronica? As fierce as ever, she’s ready to go to war to protect what’s hers.
Uneasy Alliances and Supernatural Forces
In true Kings of Jo’burg fashion, things aren’t as straightforward as bullets and betrayals. The series has always walked the line between crime drama and supernatural thriller. Season 3 leans into both elements harder than ever.

The trailer teases shadowy powers, mystical forces, and spiritual warfare woven into the turf war. With the empire on the edge, Mo is forced to partner with former nemesis Aliko Bajo (Enyinna Nwigwe). This is a dangerous move that could either strengthen their defenses or blow everything up from the inside.
A Stacked Cast and New Faces
The returning cast includes familiar faces like Cindy Mahlangu, Thembi Seete , and Abdul Khoza. All of them bring serious intensity to the screen. But it’s the newcomers who are generating extra buzz. Maurice Paige and Keenan Arrison are joining the fray. They are alongside American actor Malik Yoba, who brings even more international edge to the show’s expanding universe.
Together, this ensemble promises one of the most intense and unpredictable seasons yet.
