Slay Queens

Slay Queens is a bold, no-holds-barred documentary series that dives straight into the glitzy, gritty world of Mzansi’s most talked-about women. Stream from 31 October, with new episodes every Friday.

From Insta-perfect lives to backroom deals, Slay Queens lifts the veil on the hustle for the soft life, the kind dripping in designer labels, popping bottles in VIP, and curated to perfection for the Gram. But behind the filters? It's a high-stakes game where ambition rubs shoulders with scandal, and survival means bending the rules.

The Showmax Original doccie includes jaw-dropping confessions, unfiltered truths, and all the tea as we unpack the social media gold rush, where fame, fortune, and feminism collide in the messiest way possible.

The cast features some of Mzansi’s most recognisable and unfiltered voices, including Jackie Phamotse, bestselling author, former slay queen, and never one to hold back; Inno Morolong, social media influencer, headline magnet and veteran slay queen; and Lebogang Masango, award-winning author and anthropologist, just to name a few.

Stream from 31 October, with new episodes every Friday.
