About the Show

Shadow is a South African superhero action series which follows an ex-cop with a rare inability to feel pain who strikes out on his own to catch offenders who've eluded Johannesburg police.

Following the brutal and unjust murder of his six-year-old daughter, Johannesburg detective and former task force specialist, Shadrach 'Shadow' Khumalo (Pallance Dladla), quits his job to become a fixer for people who, like him, have been failed by the criminal justice system.

With the help of his former partner, Shadow cuts a swathe through the city's underworld, taking full advantage of a rare condition that affects his central nervous system: he is impervious to physical pain.

And he will stop at nothing to hunt down the man who killed his daughter.

Shadow was created by Motion Story Productions (Phillip Wolmarans, Nick Keulemans, Fred Wolmarans and Gareth Crocker) and is produced by Motion Story Productions for Netflix. The series is executive produced by Chris and Colleen Lawrance. The series director is Gareth Crocker.
