Season 2 Cancelled ¶
Eric Omondi has cited 'utterly rogue' contestants as the reason for cancelling the show. In an Instagram post, he revealed that one of the contestants went 'completely and utterly rogue', making it impossible to continue with the show.
'Sadly, it seems #WifeMaterial2 was never meant to happen, but we can still say it happened in a way, actually twice. The show was to begin tomorrow as has been heavily advertised but unfortunately that won't be so... Unfortunately one of the Contestants went Completely and utterly “Rogue” and despite numerous attempts to Control the situation the atmosphere in the house has not been conducive for the show to continue. We say farewell to Season two. Season 3 will Start almost immediately,' Eric Omondi wrote.
Contestants React ¶
Not everyone was pleased with Eric Omondi's decision to cancel the show. Tanzanian musician Gigy Money took to social media to express her disappointment, writing, 'So Erick you call me here nitukanwe cos unapata deals na uwarekodi watu bila kujijua unatufanya sisi vituko, you know what? You will regret this and you will never forget your wives…'
