Bulletproof S1-3
British police procedural Bulletproof follows National Crime Agency detective and best friends Aaron Bishop (Noel Clarke) and Ronnie Pike Jr (Ashley Walters). Overseen by their boss Sarah Tanner (Lindsey Coulson) they investigate some of the UK’s most dangerous criminals.
The final season brings the showdown to Cape Town, where Bishop and Pike decide to take a vacation that turns out to be anything but relaxing after a friend of Pike’s daughter is kidnapped.
The special three-episode season was filmed in Cape Town with mainly South African crews and cast, which means, in addition to series stars Ashley Walters, Noel Clarke and Jason Maza, we can look forward to seeing local stars like SAFTA winner Kim Engelbrecht (Reyka, The Flash), Thapelo Mokoena (Trackers), and Vita Award winner Paul du Toit (Kompleks, Vagrant Queen, Buurtwag).
Also look out for former Mr SA runner-up Ruben Engel (Die Byl, Suidooster, Arendsvlei), SAFTA winners Lionel Newton (Jozi, Triomf) and Brendon Daniels (Skemerdans, Cape Town), and Mbulelo Grootboom and the late Ceagan Arendse (both Skemerdans).
