Showmax's first telenovela The Wife is back to give fans a glimpse behind the scenes of one of the most talked about show in the country. 

It has dropped the trailer for The Wife: Behind The Veil, an eight-part special that takes fans on a journey to find out more about the Zulu brothers and the women who love them.
