The set-up for the series launch in Cape Town on 1 March.
M-Net's new murder mystery White Lies premieres this Thursday 7 March 2024 at 20h00 with a cast of characters who may or may not be guilty of murder.
It follows investigative journalist Edie Hansen, played by Natalie Dormer, whose estranged brother gets murdered in his Bishopscourt mansion during a home invasion.
Her world gets plunged deeper into chaos when his teenage children become prime suspects for the crime.
She sets out to find the killer, working with - and against - the local police who are led by Detective Forty Bell played by Brendon Daniels.
In other words, audiences need to become detectives too in a quest to determine the killer as clues unfold.
To accomplish this task, you'll need to determine who's telling the truth and who's lying so practice your skills right now.
