The scenario of a new 13-episode sci-fi series Room 9:
A war is being waged; a war between light and dark, between good and evil. This is the New Azania. The provinces as we once knew them in South Africa are no more. Instead this new world is divided into Sectors.
Standing in the way of perpetual darkness is a ragtag team, a special, under-the-radar division of the NAPD (the New Azanian Police Department) who deal exclusively with the paranormal, the supernatural, the sacrilegious, the twisted, and the unexplainable.
Welcome to the playground of the Devil, where Satanic cults, Muti murders, the Tokoloshe, Demons, Poltergeists, Zombies, Werewolves, Aliens, Vampires, and even a Mermaid, are all on the menu.
The show's been created by Darrell Roodt (of Yesterday, Cry the Beloved Country and Sarafina! fame) and debuts on SABC1 on Thursday, 8 November at 20h30.
A trailer and the opening titles have been released by the production and give a first look at what we can expect. Both introduce series star Zethu Dlomo in her first leading role - she plays Detective Alice Kunene who joins Room 9 without knowing that she'll be fighting paranormal phenomena ...
Also in the cast: former Survivor Africa host and Shooting Stars star
Anthony Oseyemi who plays a supernatural pro.
