Legacy 2 Full Story
Sebastian Price, the head of the family, is supposed to retire from his job as the CEO of Legacy Investments, a company he’s been running for thirty years. People are eagerly waiting to hear who will take over his role. But then, something tragic happens—he passes away. This unexpected event causes a power struggle among the family members.
Sebastian’s ex-wife, Angelique, who still holds some bitterness, and his determined daughter, Felicity, go to great lengths to ensure that Sebastian’s second wife, Dineo, doesn’t push her son, the playboy SJ, into the CEO position at Legacy Investments.
Picture this like the mega-rich characters in the HBO series Succession, but with a South African twist. It’s like adding a daily dose of drama from The Bold and The Beautiful and coloring the whole story with the escapism found in the best Brazilian telenovelas. That’s Legacy in a nutshell, as described by Jan Du Plessis, the director of M-Net channels.
