Koek S1

Flag zaMade in South Africa

The crime comedy Koek, starring Cindy Swanepoel. All the episodes are streaming on Showmax.

When Cape Town housewife Christelle Smit discovers evidence her husband is having an affair with a stripper named Candi Floss, her investigation takes her to a world poles apart from the suburban utopia she knows.

Cindy Swanepoel, who won SAFTA and Silwerskerm awards last year as Annelize in Binnelanders, stars in Koek as Christelle, with screen legend Sandra Prinsloo as the brandy-drinking, cigar-smoking, leopard-print loving, kidney-stealing mob boss she’s soon in debt to.

Written by SAFTA and Silwerskerm-winning showrunner Christiaan Olwagen (Kanarie, Recipes for Love & Murder), the crime comedy is directed and filmed by Johannes Pieter Nel (Magda Louw).

All the episodes for Koek S1 are available to stream on Showmax.
