Blood Psalms

Set in ancient Africa one thousand days after the fall of Atlantis, the five surviving houses of Kemet fear the coming of a prophesised apocalypse. Bokang Phelane (Keeping Score, Isidingo) plays a headstrong princess in this expansive fantasy series rich with magic and lore, primordial curses and ancestral feuds. Creators Layla Swart and Jahmil XT Qubeka have embarked on an ambitious path by bringing the epic scale of popular fantasy franchises to an African setting, performed without a word of English.

On Showmax from 28 September.
