Showmax has dropped the trailer for the third and final season of Adulting, set to premiere at 8pm on January 25, with new episodes streaming every Saturday.
This season raises the stakes as the gents confront their deepest fears and desires while striving to keep their friendship intact.
It’s a new chapter for the group: Bonga (Thembinkosi Mthembu) navigates married life, Vuyani (Luthando BU Mthembu) embraces his role as a club owner, Eric (Nhlanhla Kunene) adapts to a 9-to-5 lifestyle, and Mpho (Thabiso Rammusi) faces life as a newly divorced father.
Thabiso Rammusi, who plays Mpho, spoke about his character’s journey on the final season of the SAFTA-nominated, record-breaking show.
Mpho’s journey throughout the series has been tumultuous. His most memorable moment comes from Season 2, when he receives divorce papers from Zithulele.
He tries to manipulate the situation, but it backfires.
After being married to Zithulele for so long, Mpho viewed her as an obedient, forgiving wife who always went with the flow. But his infidelity and fathering a child with another woman became her breaking point.
Watching Zithulele take a stand and reclaim her power was incredible. It forced Mpho to confront his actions and accountability.
In Season 3, viewers will see how Mpho handles this more assertive Zithulele.
At the end of Season 2, Mpho was left a lonely single father, with strained relationships with his ex-wife and mistress. As the new season begins, Mpho is determined to change and become a better father and co-parent.
After realising the gravity of his mistakes and experiencing the void of divorce, Mpho understands that change is essential.
The absence of family and unity weighs heavily on him, and simple moments like coming home to an empty, cold house take their toll.
In this new season, Mpho is committed to rebuilding his relationship with his children, though this presents a significant challenge as he tries to balance his personal desires with his parental responsibilities.
His growth is essential to the storyline, and fans will have to watch to see just how far Mpho is willing to go.
Looking back at the first season, Thabiso admits that the cast didn’t expect the show to continue for multiple seasons.
“We didn’t expect it to go beyond one season,” he shares.
“The nature of our industry is unpredictable. Nothing feels certain until contracts are signed. But we were hopeful. When we saw the love and feedback from the audience after Season 1, we realised there might be more to come. By Season 2, we thought, ‘This is it.’ Now, fast forward to 2025, and here we are gearing up for Season 3.”
Adulting resonates because it offers a fresh perspective on how men experience life, their struggles, and internal battles in today’s world.
Mpho’s character has taught Thabiso the value of honesty, especially in marriage and family life. His mistakes serve as lessons: dishonesty has consequences, not just in marriage but in all areas of life.
In Season 3, Mpho and Bonga’s friendship evolves significantly. Bonga, who previously helped his friends financially, now looks to Mpho for marital advice, as Mpho is the only one in their circle who’s been married. Mpho steps into this new role, offering insights from his own bumpy marital journey to help Bonga avoid making the same mistakes.
Their friendship deepens as Mpho becomes a pillar of guidance for Bonga.
If this weren’t the final season, Thabiso would have loved to explore Mpho’s growth as a father, particularly as he raises a daughter.
He believes this dynamic could influence Mpho’s decisions, especially in his relationships with women.
