King Shaka is not coming to Showtime after all. The cable channel cancelled the new series as it was nearing the end of production. Those behind the series plan to shop it to other outlets.
Starring Charmaine Bingwa, Nkeki Obi-Melekwe, Aïssa Maïga, Thando Dlomo, Tony Kgoroge, Sindi Dlatu, and Bahle Hadebe, King Shaka, formerly known as Shaka: King of the Zulu Nation, revolves around “the Zulu Empire founder Shaka (Babalola) and his unlikely rise to power, uniting multiple tribes across vast stretches of southern Africa in the early 19th century to transform his power into legend, on par with history’s most seminal figures.”

According to Deadline, Showtime has dropped King Shaka, an epic historical drama series executive produced by Antoine Fuqua. As King Shaka was actually set to finish shooting in less than two weeks, that’s a shame, but the producers are exploring other options to find a new home for the series.
Deadline has heard that King Shaka was “permanently shut down over the weekend,” but that most of the filming had been completed. There were 12 days of shooting left, but it seems that there’s enough footage to assemble a full season of the series. King Shaka was said to be one of Showtime’s largest-scale production, with a large cast and complicated battle scenes driving the budget up to $90 million. Tipped as one of Showtime’s largest-scale productions ever, the $90 million sprawling tale, a longtime passion project for Fuqua, involves a large cast and elaborate battle scenes.
