Award-winning actor Linda Sokhulu is on a journey to self-rediscovery in 1Magic's (DStv 103) brand-new risqué dramedy, Grown Woman, premiering next month.

Grown Woman follows Sokhulu, who stars as Tina Hlatshwayo (49), on her journey to rediscovery with her much-younger lover a year after her husband's death. Starring alongside her is Bohang Moeko, Sandile Mahlangu, Bahumi Mhlongo, Nandi Nyembe and Hlubi Mboya.

"After the death of her husband Sbu, Tina – known to many as Mrs H – has to learn a new way of living not just for her two children Sakhile (played by Mahlangu) and Noxee (played by Mhlongo) but for herself," a press statement reads. "Having been married for 25 years, she spent all her time balancing work and home, but with the children grown and her husband gone, it's time for her to look inwards and figure out who she is and what makes her happy."

"On this new journey, she encounters a handsome, much younger man, Rakwena (fondly known as 'Ra' and played by Moeko), who helps her rediscover herself and brings about a much-needed sexual awakening. How will her loved ones react to her changing lifestyle?"

While Grown Woman is about the story of self-rediscovery, it is also one of family, love, grief and adventure.

"Friday nights on 1Magic have become the home of edgy, boundary-pushing shows about women taking charge of their lives and narratives," M-Net director of local entertainment channels Shirley Adonisi says in the statement. "We're excited to keep this genre going and to push it forward with the premiere of Grown Woman, and we can't wait for our audiences to engage with it."

Grown Woman premieres on 1Magic (DStv 103) on Friday, 3 February, at 21:30.
