Netflix Announces First Ever Spin-off in ‘How To Ruin’ Franchise, titled How to Ruin Love: The Proposal
How To Ruin Love: The Proposal is Netflix’s newest South African series, launching on the service on 31 May 2024. This is the first South African spin-off, born from the creative minds of the Ramaphakela siblings and their production house, Burnt Onion Productions.
The series follows the ever-so-cynical Zoleka (Sivenathi Mabuya), who lets her insecurities get the best of her and sabotages her engagement to her long-term boyfriend Kagiso (Bohang Moeko), just days before Valentine’s Day. Distraught, Zoleka cooks up a series of hair-brained schemes (with the help of her friends, family, and future in-laws) to try and win back his trust – before Kagiso walks away for good.
Days before their three-year anniversary on Valentine’s Day, forever pessimist and love cynic Zoleka believes her long-term boyfriend, Kagiso, is cheating on her. She decides to follow him, hoping to catch him in the act. However, things are not as they seem, and her suspicions lead to heartbreak. In an effort to mend her broken heart and relationship status, Zoleka enlists the help of their families to win her man back by any means necessary.
This fresh and vibrant series stars some of South Africa’s legendary performers, including Marjorie Langa, John Morapama, Tina Jaxa, and Dumisani Mbebe. It also features fan-favourites Thando Thabethe, Sandile Mahlangu and S’dumo Mtshali.
How To Ruin Love: The Proposal is produced by Burnt Onion Productions, created by Rethabile Ramapahkela and Katleho Ramaphakela, produced by Phuthi Nakene, with executive producers Tshepo Ramaphakela, Katleho Ramaphakela and Rethabile Ramaphakela.
