Season 2
Detective Reyka Gama (Kim Engelbrecht) returns and has been seconded to the Durban Harbour Police Station where she's busy building the profile of a killer who targets couples at a coastal lookout spot called Lover's Lane.
The assailant is a sinister enigma who finishes his male victims off in a cold and clinical fashion yet shows remorse – even protectiveness – over female victims.
With the killings hitting headlines nationwide, Reyka has the added pressure of solving the murders before the province's International Water Conference that will see scores of delegates coming to the city.
On top of that, Reyka's past still haunts her.
Angus Speelman (Iain Glen), the twisted Scottish immigrant farmer who kidnapped her when she was a young girl - is institutionalised in a facility for sex offenders, but Reyka is still tormented by the abuse she suffered.
However, a glimmer of hope appears when she partners with new detective Ayanda Jali – a source of courage and goodness reminiscent of Reyka's former partner.
Despite Reyka's precarious mental state and complex personal life, she's determined to catch Durban's latest predator.
Playing Detective Ayanda Jali is Samkelo Ndlovu (iNkaba) is Reyka's new partner, a tough and courageous detective with strong moral values and integrity.
She becomes Reyka's friend and confidante and helps her navigate her cases and personal struggles.
Starring as her boyfriend, Zee, is Pallance Dladla (Isibaya).
Zee grew up in a children's shelter and is now a social justice vlogger and Internet personality.
He struggles with issues of boundaries and self-esteem - caught between his feelings for Ayanda and his own insecurities.
The indomitable Head of the Search and Rescue unit, Captain Leon Lombard played by Frank Rautenbach (Lioness) is an adrenaline junkie like Tanner, and there's a romantic attraction between him and Reyka.
Lemogang Tsipa (Shaka iLembe) plays the handyman Tokkie.
Isolated, he's a good looking and slightly strange young man who was brought up in the children's home where he now works.
Other new faces this season include Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, Joey Rasdien, Zane Meas, Tamara Skye, Kira Wilkinson, Wayne van Rooyen, Deon Lotz, Trudy van Rooy and Nicky Rebelo.
Reyka is created and written by Rohan Dickson and jointly produced by Serena Cullen for Serena Cullen Productions in the UK and Harriet Gavshon for Quizzical Pictures in South Africa.
