Set to launch on 6 February 2026, Yoh! Bestie reunites audiences with beloved characters Thando (Katlego Lebogang) and Charles (Siya Sepotokele) as they are forced to confront unresolved feelings ahead of a destination wedding in Knysna.
Against a backdrop of breathtaking coastal scenery, old sparks resurface, friendships are tested and emotions run high as the celebrations become a catalyst for long-avoided conversations and emotional reckoning.
Expanding the much-loved Yoh! universe created by Tiffany Barbuzano and Johnny Barbuzano, the feature film builds on the success of Yoh! Christmas, bringing fan-favourite characters back together for a new chapter rooted in romance, humour and heartfelt tension. As the weekend unfolds, buried truths come to the surface, relationships are strained and the line between friendship and love becomes increasingly blurred.
With Netflix having become synonymous with telling South African stories on a global stage, Yoh! Bestie arrives at a moment of heightened anticipation from audiences. Following the success of recent local hits such as Love and Wine, which captivated viewers in December, fans are eagerly awaiting the next must-watch romantic story. Blending relatable relationship dynamics with unmistakably local flavour, Yoh! Bestie delivers a fresh yet familiar take on a world audiences already love, and cements its place as one of Netflix’s most anticipated South African releases of the year.
