Paradys
Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Telenovela, Soap Opera
A multi-generational family drama about a once promised "Coloured paradise" that never materialised - and the two families trapped in the remnants of that dream: the Booysen family and the Malgas family.
In the series premiere we are introduced to the character of Rochelle Booysen, played by Lorcia Cooper.
Rochelle fled Paradys 16 years ago after running away with the baby she carried as a surrogate for her sister, Natasha Malgas (Chantal Stanfield).
Now, forced back home by her father, Reverend Clive Booysen's murder, in a role played by Roderick Jafta.
Rochelle must confront the ghosts she left behind, the town that cast her out, and her father's former friend, Vinny Malgas (Elton Landrew) - a powerful businessman determined to bury the truth about Clive's murder.
When Clive is murdered on his 60th birthday, Rochelle returns to Paradys with 15-year-old Kim (Sharne Coetzee), opening old wounds.
The series explores legacy, faith, betrayal and family expectations, as well as the battle between morality and greed.
Paradys lives where religion meets crime, where the holy word and the hustle coexist sometimes in the same heart.
The town breathes with dust, sweat, worship, money and whispered sins.
It is spiritual but not soft, dangerous but deeply emotional.
A world where family wars feel biblical and every character is carrying both a bible verse and a secret that could undo them.
