After being a pawn caught between the FBI and the world of organised crime, in Season 4 Thony makes the bold decision to take charge of her own destiny by exchanging her cleaning lady uniform for the scrubs of a surgical intern at a small community hospital. Thony’s return to the medical career she sacrificed for her son opens a new path to citizenship for them both. 

But in order to make this happen, she must continue her service to the Sin Cara cartel — not as a cleaning lady, but as the new Mob doctor — bringing her ever closer to Jorge (Santiago Cabrera), the cartel’s brooding new leader.

Emmy nominee Daniel Cerone (Dexter) takes over as showrunner in Season 4.

Documentaries

Steinheist Eps 4 and 5 | Showmax Original: SA | Stream from Thursday, 20 March

On 6 December 2017, after CEO Markus Jooste resigned amid an investigation into accounting irregularities, Steinhoff’s share price plunged by 90% in a week, wiping over R200 billion off Johannesburg’s stock exchange, the JSE – and off ordinary South Africans’ pensions and investments. It was the biggest corporate scandal in South African history.

Five years later, the first three episodes of Steinheist set a new Showmax record for the most first-day views of any documentary. They were met with rave reviews and a public outcry about why Jooste was still a free man. 

Steinheist went on to become the most-nominated documentary going into the SAFTAs, with director Richard Gregory and producer Elle Oosthuizen named the Sanlam Group Financial Journalist of the Year for 2022 – the first TV journalists to win the prize in nearly a decade. The duo also won the Broadcast: TV and Video category award.

Now two new episodes pick up the story a month after the documentary’s 2022 release, when the Reserve Bank seized R1.4bn of Jooste’s assets. From his pursuit by German authorities to his record R475m fine from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority, to his police summons to stand trial, the new episodes trace how the net tightened around Jooste in the build-up to his suicide on a rocky beach in Hermanus on 21 March 2024. 

Steinheist is made by multi-award-winning true crime pioneers IdeaCandy (Devilsdorp, Tracking Thabo Bester, Rosemary’s Hitlist, School Ties).

He won 10 world titles across six different weight classes, rocketing to global prominence both in and outside the ring with his good looks, electric charisma, and heartfelt story of winning Olympic gold for his dying mother. But behind the polished facade, all was not as it seemed.

In The Golden Boy, De La Hoya peels back the layers to reveal a man struggling to come to terms with lifelong demons and the impossible burden of a nickname he couldn’t live up to.

Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music captures a 24-hour, one-time-only concert performed in New York in 2016 by New York artist, theatre legend and drag royal Taylor Mac.
