White Lies S1

M-Net’s hit murder mystery White Lies stars Critics Choice Super nominee Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones) as Edie, an investigative journalist whose estranged brother is murdered in his luxury Bishopscourt home, leaving his teenage children as the prime suspects.

As Edie investigates, she finds herself at loggerheads with veteran detective Forty Bell (SAFTA winner Brendon Daniels from Spinners) while grappling with the crumbling local police force, a corrupt political system, and the secretive world of extreme Cape wealth.

White Lies is produced by Quizzical Pictures in partnership with Fremantle, building on the success of their previous collab, Reyka, which was nominated for two International Emmys. The crime series is created by SAFTA and Silwerskerm winner Sean Steinberg (Spinners), with multi-award-winner John Trengrove (The Wound, Manodrome) as the lead director.

Fremantle has already sold White Lies to Channel 4 in the UK, Sundance Now in North America, and STAN in Australia, where it charted at #3.

In a five-star review, News24’s Thinus Ferreira hailed it as “masterful TV storytelling… eye-popping and Sherlock Holmesian.” Similarly, in their review, The Sunday Times (UK) says, “South Africa appears to be having a TV moment” and praises Daniels, who they say, “on the face of this performance is about to go global.”
