BET Plus ordered a spin-off, Zatima, on December 8, 2021, which premiered on September 22, 2022.

In this spin-off, Zac and Fatima embark on a new journey as a couple, but a series of lies, infidelity, secrets, and exes threaten the pair's newfound romantic relationship.

On February 17, 2023, the network ordered and announced the renewal of the series for the second season, which premiered on March 16, 2023.

The series stars Devale Ellis as Zachary "Zac" Taylor and Crystal Renee Hayslett as Fatima Wilson. Nzinga Imani, Remington Hoffman, and Cameron Fuller also star in the comedy-drama.

In Season 2, Zac and Fatima face a whole new level of challenges. The season ended with a breakup and viewers are not happy about it. So, will there be a season 3 of Zatima?

A separate individual wrote that the news made his day as he was also upset about the season finale. Another fan thanked the actor for clarifying the confusion.

"@iamdevale my guy!!! I knew y'all wouldn't leave us hanging lol! My mom and I both watch it faithfully!" another added.

The mid-season finale of Season 2 saw a breakup leaving a door open. The last episode (E10) was titled "The Good With The Bad," which aired on Thursday, April 13, 2023, on BETplus.

Zatima made its highly-anticipated return for the concluding part of Season 2 on August 24, 2023, treating fans to a double dose of excitement every Thursday as it released two episodes per week.

As of now, Season 2 has already aired four episodes, and the drama continues with episodes 15 and 16 set to premiere on September 7.

Given that there are 10 additional episodes following the mid-season finale, Season 2 will conclude on September 21.

Zatima Season 3 Filming In August

Zatima Season 3 filming will commence in August 2023. The information comes from the IG comment section of Devale's April post.

"Zatima season 3 start filming August 10th #ZatimaOnBETPlus #ZatimaOnBET#ZatimaSEASON#," wrote a Twitter user on April 25, 2023. "Can't wait," another user added.

The first season started filming in 2021 and received a premiere date of fall 2022. Later Ellis shared the show will debut in September via IG.

The news came after fans found out that the cast was filming for the second season of the series. Wrapping on Season 2 prior to sharing the premiere date of Season 1?

Generally, Perry's shows follow a similar pattern. When a season is being aired they are typically filming the following season.

Soon, when the season is about to air or has already aired a couple of episodes, BET announces that they have renewed Perry's show for another season.

Over the course of the past seasons, we've witnessed the couple dealing with the ups and downs of their relationship. With Season 2, the show has arguably become just as much of a BET staple.

In Season 2, Zac dealt with internal discord which is only inflamed after seeing his mom, whom he hasn't met in quite a long time.

Meanwhile, Fatima starts questioning herself if she's really what her man needs when she fails to get through to him about confronting past issues.

The show is yet to return and deal with the aftermath of the pair's breakup.

Everything We Know About Zatima Season 3
