Season 1


The Brave Ones is a South African supernatural drama miniseries which tells the story of ordinary township girl Ntsiki, who discovers she is a mystical being who must harness her powers to protect the community and avenge her sister's murder.

Set in modern-day South Africa, the series is inspired by the rich mythology of African gods and divine beings.

The series journeys through three parallel worlds of the living, the unborn and the dead governed by the Tree of Life.

Ntsiki Gasa (Sthandile Nkosi) is a mystical being reincarnated as a human who sets out to avenge her sister's death.

However, Ntsiki faces a powerful and determined enemy in Ayanda Mbatha (Nomalanga Nkosi), the ruthless wife of an equally heartless land-grabbing property developer, Luthando Mbatha (Tony Kgoroge), who has her own compelling reasons for exploiting the powers of The Brave Ones.

To defeat her formidable enemies and save her family from destruction, Ntsiki must learn to use and harness her superpowers.

The cast includes Bonko Khoza, Zamani Mbatha, Pheello Kotelo, Sthandiwe Kgoroge and Yule Masiteng as the all-knowing elder, Ndyebo.

The Brave Ones is based on an original idea by Akin Omotoso, who created the series with Robbie Thorpe, Portia Gumede and Steven Pillemer.

The series is produced for Netflix by Ochre Media with executive producers Omotoso, Thorpe and Stan Joseph.

The series is directed by Akin Omotoso, Rolie Nikiwe, Tosh Gitonga and Stephina Zwane.

The music was composed by Joel Assaizky.
