Showmax has just released the trailer for Season 2 of Troukoors (Wedding Fever), announcing that the next 14 episodes of the hit Showmax Original will be available to binge from Thursday, 5 May 2022.
Troukoors became the most-watched fictional Afrikaans series on Showmax when it launched in mid-December 2021. It’s currently behind only Sex i Afrikaans and Devilsdorp in terms of first-day views for an Afrikaans title on Showmax.
The season follows three best friends: wedding planner Jessica (Ilse-Lee van Niekerk); her sister Luca (Blyde Smit), a software developer; and her best friend Abi (Bianca Flanders), a professional baker.
Season 2 starts with Jessica still together with tasty chef Liam (Christiaan Schoombie); Luca trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with barman turned fantasy writer Stefan (Evan Hengst), and Abi on a sex fast we all know is going to be short-lived.
The trailer gives us a first look at some of the temptations coming their way, including David Viviers (Tali’s Baby Diary) as a game designer working with Luca to adapt Stefan’s book into a game, and Marlo Minnaar (Die Boland Moorde, Aan/Af) as a maths tutor who catches Abi’s eye. Edwin van Der Walt (Wonderlus) also plays a larger role this season.
Keep your eyes peeled during the trailer for first glimpses of SAFTA winner Ilse Klink (Skemerdans, Stroomop) as Patricia and rising star Kylie Fisher (Recipes for Love and Murder) as Zamanti, an influencer whose wedding Jessica pitches on. Jessica will also help Abi’s dad, Karel (Kevin Smith), plan his wedding to Nathan (Melt Sieberhagen) this season. There’s one more big wedding to look out for, but audiences will have to wait and see who the lucky couple will be.
Troukoors was created by SAFTA winner Louis Pretorius and SAFTA nominee Albert Snyman of Infinity Films (Die Boekklub, Fynskrif), with regular collaborator Nina Swart directing.
Binge Season 2 of Troukoors from 5 May only on Showmax. In the meantime, catch up on Season 1 on Showmax here.
