    Leading the cast of the new South African crime thriller from M-Net, Quizzical Pictures, and Fremantle is the Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games star Natalie Dormer.

    The British actress known for playing Margaery Tyrell across 26 episodes of Game of Thrones is now in Cape Town and ready to start shooting White Lies on March 6.

    The series will be set in the fancy suburb of Bishopscourt, described as an “urgent exploration of race and privilege, inequality and identity”, notes The Hollywood Reporter.

    Our very own Brendon Daniels, whose credits include the acclaimed film Four Corners, Skemerdans and Trackers, another M-Net international co-production, is also joining the cast.

    Sean Steinberg (known for Axis Mundi (2018), High Rollers (2013) and (S)he (2019)) is the creator, while the award-winning scriptwriter Darrel Bristow-Bovey (known for his bestselling books I Moved Your Cheese and The Naked Bachelor) is the writer.

    White Lies follows investigative journalist Edie Hansen (played by Dormer) as she gets caught up in the nasty underbelly of the picturesque city, which ultimately drags her back to a turbulent past:

    [After] her estranged brother’s murder in his luxury home, Edie’s world plunges deeper into chaos when her brother’s teenage children become prime suspects for the crime. As Edie investigates, she finds herself at loggerheads with veteran detective Forty Bell (Daniels), and grapples with the crumbling local police force, a corrupt political system, and the secretive world of extreme Cape wealth.

    Ja hey, sounds truly South African.

    Dormer says that she is really excited to be in our country:

    “South Africa has so much to offer an international audience in its storytelling. I’m truly excited to bring Darrel’s eight episode page-turner to life with such a group of talented directors, led by John, and a superb ensemble cast.”

    Also joining the cast are Langley Kirkwood (Warrior, The Catch, Inconceivable), Morgan Santo (Raised by Wolves), Daniel Schultz (Upon the Edge), Jane de Wet (The Girl from St. Agnes, Still Breathing), Katlego Lebogang (Wounds), Robert Hobbs (District 9, The Girl from St Agnes, Isibaya) and Athenkosi Mfamela (Knuckle City).

    We’re frothing to see this “multi-layered, psychological thriller which forces us to examine the darker side of wealth and affluence and the complexity of family dynamics”.
