Diepe Waters S1-2
A new season brimming with intrigue awaits the Swartmarlyne in Diepe Waters. Who will sink and who will swim?
Season 1 of the popular kykNET telenovela won a SAFTA for its editing, and this year it’s up for Most Popular TV Soap or Telenovela (as voted for by the public) as well as Best Directing, Cinematography, and Sound.
At the 2024 Silwerskerm Festival Awards, Nadia Valvekens was nominated for Best Actress in a Telenovela or Soap as Sanet Swarts, with Justin Strydom up for Best Actor as Gys, Werner Coetser up for Best Supporting Actor as Jacques, and Diandra Slabbert up for Best Newcomer as Mari.
In Season 2, Zelda and Gys’ war continues; there’s new love on the horizon for Sanet; and everyone is left reeling following a sudden death. Look out for Vinette Ebrahim (Koek) and Eric Bouwer (Spoorloos, Binnelanders) joining the cast this season.
