Season 3
The tough and talented task team from Cape Town returns to solve crimes and find the mastermind behind the big syndicate they've been investigating since Season 1.
And it's not just the cases that cause drama, but also the constant changes and challenges in the personal lives of the task team members.
The third season has 10 episodes, and each will feature one or two different missing persons cases.
Every investigation is inspired by real South African events.
Nicci Rheeder of Missing Children SA and Marcel van der Watt, who worked with many missing persons cases over his years as a member of the SAPS, served as consultants for the writing team.
Ronel (Chanelle de Jager), Lux (Chumani Pan) and Charlie (Kay Smith) are back in the office, but Deon (Tim Theron) has been asked to help with a case abroad.
So he hires Zander (Laudo Liebenberg) to take charge of the task team.
Laudo Liebenberg is not the only new face in Season 3 – Deon Coetzee, Arno Greeff, Cintaine Schutte, Frank Rautenbach and Corine du Toit are also part of the action.
The task team operates in a pressure-cooker environment.
For every hour a person remains missing, the likelihood of finding them alive decreases.
These emotionally taxing conditions take their toll on the mental health of the officers and their personal relationships.
And when you have four intense personalities operating in a high-stress environment, interpersonal conflict is inevitable.
But despite the occasional blow-ups, the team always comes together when it counts.
In Season 2, Ronel finally found Dina and the two were reunited. But in Season 3, things don't turn out as Ronel hoped they would.
Dina has a lot of trauma to process, and the more Ronel tries to help her, the more she drifts away.
Will Ronel be able to convince Dina to tell the truth? Will both sisters be able to face their own issues?
At the end of Season 2, Charlie and Lux found each other in a romantic kiss.
In Season 3, they're still in a relationship but not without hiccups and setbacks.
Charlie is healthy after her gunshot wound, but she is not yet where she wants to be emotionally.
The fact that Lux goes out of his way to protect Charlie causes friction.
Charlie needs more space, but Lux feels guilty and wants to do everything in his power to make up for it.
But is it too late?
The team is sad about Deon's departure, but they also have lots of questions about the strange character Deon hired as his replacement.
Zander thinks in curves and four dimensions.
Definitely not your average guy, but according to Deon he's the best detective he has ever worked with.
Will the team ever get along with him though, and is he really is as good as Deon thinks?
Projek Dina was created and produced as an M-Net Original Production for kykNET by Penguin Films.
