After becoming one of kykNET’s standout drama hits in 2024, Een keer om die son returns for a second season on 20 January, taking viewers back into the complex, often messy world of the Van Wyk family. Donnalee Roberts and Ivan Botha joined us in studio for a chat about it.

With returning favourites, new characters, and a strong emotional through-line of hope, season two promises more tension, heartache and warmth, while asking what it really takes to keep family at the centre of your solar system.
