Season 1


The Morning After is a South African / French television comedy series about a British aspiring singer who gets adopted by a group of local young misfits after she washes up one morning about 6,000 miles from home, alone and naked on a Cape Town beach, with all of her stuff missing and a story that's clearly got a few holes.

When 25-year-old Hull party girl Nina Morgan (Amara Okereke) wakes up naked on a beach in Cape Town, South Africa, it's possible that her life isn't going exactly according to plan.

Local and beach cottage mates Michaela, Mandisa, Cleo and Justin quickly rescue her from that immediate predicament, and exact revenge on the guy responsible, but ultimately Nina's going to have to be the one to rescue herself from herself.

The others soon learn the real reason Nina's in town - she's supposed to be at New Life, an upmarket rehab centre, but it was "full of junkies" so she bust herself out on day three.

She's got a ticket home in three months' time, but until then she's on her own.

Sometimes she's on her own in Justin's bed, but basically she's on her own.

Determined not to give her stepfather the satisfaction of seeing her fail, Nina takes on a series of hustles to earn enough for rent, food and weed, putting her singing talents to good use, and relishing the world-renowned carefree sunkissed Cape Town lifestyle.

The series also stars Tarryn Wyngaard as neurotic, emotionally-messy lawyer Cleo; Gaosi Raditholo as ballbreaker model Mandisa; Carmen Pretorius as rich kid-turned-artist Michaela; Danica Jones as no-nonsense camerawoman Pauline; Richard Gau as the Peter Pan-like aspiring techbro Justin; and Khaya Dladla as nightclub impresario Tarquin.

The series also features Martial Batchamen, Masali Baduza, Faniswa Yisa and Colin Moss.

Created by Thierry Cassuto & Karen Jeynes and entirely filmed in Cape Town and surrounds, the series is directed by Cindy Lee and Karen Jeynes, with executive producers Rémy Jacquelin for Paradoxal and Thierry Cassuto, Karen Jeynes and Thato Cassuto for Both Worlds Pictures.

The Morning After is produced by Paris-based Paradoxal and Cape Town based Both Worlds Pictures, with the support of the South African Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC).
