Showmax has just released the trailer for “Koek,” – a new series.
The show follows Christelle Smit, a Cape Town housewife who uncovers her husband’s affair with a stripper named Candi Floss. As she delves deeper into the situation, Christelle finds herself charting a world far removed from her suburban comfort zone.
Directed by Christiaan Olwagen, known for his acclaimed work on “Recipes for Love and Murder,” the series stars Cindy Swanepoel as Christelle, alongside screen legend Sandra Prinsloo.
The story explores themes of loss and self-discovery, infidelity, crime, romance and more.
Set against the backdrop of Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs, “Koek” promises a blend of crime and comedy, with a talented cast including Stian Bam, Jacques Bessenger, Dawid Minnaar, and Carel Nel.
Rapper Jack Parow also makes a rare cameo and contributes to the soundtrack.
Produced by Wolflight Films, “Koek” premieres on Showmax on February 29, 2024, with new episodes releasing every Thursday until May 2, 2024.
The series adds to Showmax’s growing collection of critically acclaimed Afrikaans crime shows, following the success of “Donkerbos,” “Spinners,” and “Trompoppie.”
