Ekstra Medium S1
Bertie finds himself in his third midlife crisis. In an attempt to re-invent his own life (and partly driven by a sense of nostalgia) he spends the last of his savings on a run-down property in the hopes of turning it into a cocktail bar. He moves in with his sister who, by chance, reluctantly gets involved in his half-baked plans. At its heart, Ekstra Medium is a story about family and community.
The role of Bertie is played by Wilhelm van der Walt and his sister, Sophia, by Cintaine Schutte. Others in the cast include Marvin-Lee Beukes, Llandi Beeslaar, Gerben Kamper, Dean Balie, Mila Guy, Amalia Uys and June van Merch. The director is Beer Adriaanse.
New episodes of Ekstra Medium are streaming on Showmax on Wednesdays, 24 hours after they debut on kykNET.
