On the back of a successful run with the action-packed Deon Meyer series Trackers, M-Net has announced Still Breathing, a drama to hit screens on 27 February 2020.
The 13-part family drama will focus on love, friendship, complicated relationships, betrayal and long-kept secrets form the emotional crux of a tale about a circle of former friends who have drifted apart over time but are drawn together again when tragedy strikes. In short, it’s all about love, death, and the mess in-between.
The main themes echo those of international hits such as Brothers and Sisters; This is Us, and Parenthood, but it is spun around the challenges faced by authentic, modern-day South Africans.
It is still being filmed in Johannesburg.
Said Liz Dziva, PR & Publicity Manager at Multichoice Zimbabwe:
In the director’s chair is SAFTA award-winner Johnny Barbuzano (The River, The Gift, Isozo Connection), while the script is the creation of Johnny’s wife, Tiffany Barbuzano, who also co-produces the series with him and is a member of the cast.
In the series, Tiffany plays mom to their real-life offspring, up-and-coming stars Jamie and Jess Barbuzano. The impressive cast also includes talented stars like Fleur de Cap winner Kate Liquorish (Catching Feelings, Eye in the Sky), SAFTA winner Lorcia Kumalo (Lockdown, Zulu Wedding, The Queen), and Naledi winner Shannon Esra (The Throne, The Queen). These three actors feature in the Still Breathing marketing teaser, already being aired on M-Net.
Still Breathing debuts 27 February at 20.00hrs on M-Net (DStv channel 102).
