Netflix quietly drops all 6 episodes of 'amazing' thriller making fans cry
Netflix fans are raving about the second season of the action thriller Unseen packed with twists and turns.
The South African drama – inspired by the Turkish drama Fatma – follows a house cleaner, called Zenzi Mwale (Gail Mabalane), who is driven to violence by a crime syndicate as she desperately searches for her missing husband, who had just been released from prison for murder.
As Zenzi makes a series of life-altering (and threatening) decisions, the show makes a heartpounding return when she must face the consequences of the bloodthirsty actions she has been accused of committing.
The first season came out in 2023 and wowed audiences as it landed at number 4 in the global top 10.
Just two years later, all six episodes of the second season have arrived on the streaming platform for thrill-seekers to get hooked on.

'Fists fly. And the truth? It's about to get messy,' Netflix teased.
'Great series, plot, characters and story development are very good in my opinion. It's visually uncompromising and brutal for the right reasons. Zenzi is an absolute hero of a character and a very very strong female lead. Just loved it,' Guiillaume D wrote on Rotten Tomatoes.
'A tight, illuminating script, strong performances,' David J echoed.
Over on X, season two is already causing fans to totally crash out and another,Angie Bay admitted she was left in a 'puddle of tears' by the end.

'ELITE CAST. Let it not go unsaid that Gail Mabalane is a phenomenal actress. Epic Cinematography. Chilling soundtrack. TELEVISION,' Lebza declared.
'Why is Unseen making me cry,' rejoice asked.
'There are some parts of the series that really made me cry. I almost screamed out loud,' Dr Punkien said about the new season.
'Season 2 left no crumbs,' Kinz added. More Trending
In an interview with lead star Gail, she told Glamour: 'Stepping back into Zenzi's world this season felt both exhilarating and deeply personal…like I know that Zenzi had some unfinished business.
'I knew her journey was going to hit harder, more emotionally layered, more physically intense and definitely more vulnerable.'
She added that she had to 'physically and mentally prepare' to return as she was 'ready to go deeper'.
Unseen is streaming on Netflix now.

Cate Blanchett reveals how Squid Game cameo was kept secret and teases spin-off
Cate Blanchett has addressed how her hugely-secretive Squid Game guest appearance in the show's final episode came about and where it could go next. The South Korean Netflix phenomenon bowed out this summer after becoming the biggest show ever to hit the platform, detailing a dystopian death match that's now entered the popular vernacular, with a pink and green wardrobe that's Halloween-ready. Among the many surprises during the final season, at the top of the list was Blanchett, 56, appearing in the final scene as a Squid Game recruiter based in Los Angeles. In the scene, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) is driving through the city when he looks down an alley and spots Blanchett's character, suited and booted, playing a game of ddakji with a homeless man. The set-up is identical to how Gong Yoo's salesman first recruited Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) on a subway platform at night, playing the same slap-centric version of the game.

Blanchett has now said the offer to appear on the show 'came out of the blue' before she agrred to film the top-secret final scene. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video She told Variety: 'Because it's such a cult series and they were shooting in LA of all places, everyone was on a need-to-know basis.' The 56-year-old told the publication that she didn't even do a wardrobe fitting for the unnamed role, instead bringing her own suit to filming and learning 'very quickly' to play ddakji. 'I had to practice and practice,' she said. 'I knew there were four or five setups that they were going to do, and I knew what they needed from every shot, and then I was given the [script pages]. But it was one of the more mysterious jobs.' TV Editor Sabrina Barr shares her take… The final season, which Metro was able to watch in its entirety before the release, is darn near-perfect. Almost. While creator Hwang Dong-hyuk didn't initially have the three seasons mapped out, he concludes the tale of Player 456, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) in a seamless way that feels as though it was always meant to be a three-part story. As for why season three isn't a clear 10/10, the main qualm I have pertains to a group of characters who are so distracting they bring me back to real life with a sharp jolt – the VIPs. Their presence is jarring and feels unnecessary, even if the intention is to demonstrate who the game is being held for. But, the final moments of season three genuinely made me jaw drop in the best way possible. The chief takeaway from Blanchett's cameo, as well as the scene's reveal that an international version of the Game exists, was that Netflix appeared to be setting up a show spin-off. It's not a suggestion Blanchett denied in the interview. More Trending So could she be the star of a new English-language version of the show? Blanchett says she is 'wildly open to anything'. 'In a world that is so beautifully, magically created like that, for sure,' she said. 'They're amazing world-builders, and that series has been eaten alive. I don't think there's a corner of the globe that it hasn't touched in some way.' View More » Squid Game is available to stream on Netflix. Got a story?

Inside Strictly star Alex Kingston's split from Hollywood legend after affair
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Strictly Come Dancing celebrity Alex Kingston endured a turbulent romantic history before discovering happiness with her current husband. The Doctor Who star, 62, has joined the latest series of the popular BBC dancing show as she gets ready to showcase her moves on the ballroom floor. She won over Doctor Who fans after securing the part of River Song, with her character featuring during David Tenant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi's time on the science fiction programme. Her television work has included appearances in American medical series ER, historical dramas The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders, Arrow and A Discovery of Witches. (Image:for Netflix) The actress has never been shy about her desire to participate in Strictly. In 2019, she revealed: "Sarah Hadland and I talked about how much we'd like to do Strictly Come Dancing. Then I discovered she's a trained ballet dancer. 'Hang on a minute! That's not fair!' So, I can't do it on a season when she is on it!" Off-screen, Alex has experienced her own personal dramas. She met Oscar-nominated actor Ralph Fiennes at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1983. The couple married ten years later, but their relationship ended disastrously when Ralph fell for a woman 18 years his senior. Reflecting on their split, Alex once said: "We were like strangers – very fragile," reports the Mirror. "His mother was dying and somehow we thought the wedding was going to heal everything. But that was crazy, of course." (Image: NY Daily News via Getty Images) In 1995, Ralph starred in Hamlet at Hackney Empire opposite Francesca Annis-who played Gertrude, his character's mother. Despite the age gap, their romance resulted in him abandoning Alex and declaring his love for Francesca. Ralph, aged 32 at the time, began a relationship with Francesca, then 50. Francesca, who has three children with photographer Patrick Wiseman, allegedly left him for the actor. Alex disclosed the extent of her emotional turmoil following their divorce to the Daily Mail, stating: "I was feeling worthless, that I would never find anyone else as good as my husband, which is ridiculous, but I had so little self-esteem. "Divorce is awful but it is also something I don't regret happening to me because it has shaped who I am now." (Image: Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images) Ralph and Francesca were together for 10 years between 1997 and 2006 and dismissed age gap criticisms. "Of course I don't spend days agonising over the age difference. How can I? There is nothing I can do about it," she once said. "Ralph and I have been together ten years now so, whatever happens, we have had a very good, different relationship and an interesting time." Their romance crumbled following a shocking infidelity claim as Romanian singer Corneila Crisan alleged she had conducted a two-year affair with Ralph. (Image:for Pragnell) The following day, Ralph and Francesca declared their decision to part ways, stating: "Miss Annis confirms today that she and Ralph Fiennes are to separate." Ralph's infidelity had a devastating impact on Alex, who confessed to contemplating suicide. She later tied the knot with German writer Florian Haertel and together they welcomed daughter Salome in 2001. However, their marriage ended in 2009 and their divorce was finalised four years later. Fortunately, Alex has since found love again and is now happily married to TV presenter Jonathan Stamp, with the couple exchanging vows in Italy in 2015. Strictly Come Dancing returns to the BBC later this year.
