Over the course of its four seasons, Umlilo explored a polygamous marriage and the interpersonal dramas of a family in a state of flux.
"We have no doubt that our viewers enjoyed the drama series. Quizzical Pictures the producers, kept our viewers on their toes and talking on social media, which is exactly what we asked for," says Marlon Davids, Managing Director of e.tv.
"Great broadcasting content is what we aim for and as the channel takes on a new direction, we will be saying goodbye to Umlilo on 19 September".

Season 2 returned in August 2015 and delivered more death and drama than ever before.
We saw Khwezi, along with her uncle Welcome, put their plan into action and leave the Simelane's in tatters.
Dumile worked hard to uncover Khwezi's identity, but it was too late as Mnqobi had already lost his first wife, Cebisile, and his entire family's lives were in danger.
In the end, Khwezi held Mnqobi and Dumile hostage, forcing him to shoot Dumile.
In season 3 and 4, viewers saw Mnqobi wed his fourth wife Palesa, and the nation chewed its nails to the quick during the tension-filled court moments between Thembi and Mnqobi.
