Legends such as Nandi Nyembe who plays Gogo Twala, Desmond Dube portraying Uncle Shadrack and Keketso Semoko as Aunt Moipone, all feature in the romcom.

Executive producer, Rethabile Ramaphakela said in a statement: “I don’t think the African continent has seen a Christmas show quite like this before. What makes How To Ruin Christmas: The Wedding so great is the fact that every single person across Mzansi and the world can relate to at least one of the many colourful characters from the show and we’re excited to showcase our creativity on a global service like Netflix.”

“When we created the series, we certainly didn’t think our days would be spent fielding threatening questions, even from our own friends and family, on when these, and other story questions will be answered. Well, thanks to Netflix, we get to put everyone out of their misery, as we get to ruin Christmas yet again!” added he Ramaphakela’s shortly after the second season of the mini series was announced. 

“Gearing up for another season honestly feels like getting ready to go home for Christmas, where you get to see and catch up with your favourite and messy, family members. And no families are messier than the Sellos and the Twalas, who are now, bound in matrimony.”
