BLOOD PSALMS' Showmax dropped the trailer for Blood Psalms - an epic, action-packed African fantasy series. Blood Psalms will premiere on Showmax on 28 September. New episodes will release every Wednesday for 11 weeks.
Blood Psalms will also have its world premiere in Cape Town on Wednesday 24 August as the opening night screening at MIP Africa, part of FAME Week Africa.
In Ancient Africa, one thousand years after the fall of Atlantis, the five surviving houses of Kemet find themselves beset with fears of a prophesied end of days.

Isidingo star Bokang Phelane has the role of a lifetime as Princess Zazi - a fiercely determined teenage princess. She must navigate primordial curses, long-standing ancestral vendettas, and her inexplicable role as the damning prophecy's chief harbinger.
Mothusi Magano, winner of four SAFTAs and an African Movie Academy Award, plays her father, mad king Letsha, while SAFTA winner and 2022 DSTV Mzansi Viewers' Choice nominee Zolisa Xaluva (Gomora, Knuckle City) plays General Toka, the head of her father's Akachi army.

Blood Psalms is the biggest and most ambitious series we've ever made, completely unlike any other African series you've ever seen. We couldn't be more excited, said Nomsa Philiso, executive head: programming at MultiChoice.
This show was specifically created as a reimagining of ourselves as Africans, as an answer to Who are we? It's done in a very entertaining way, with a lot of drama and action, said Phelane.
The trailer gives us our first glimpses of the star-studded cast, which includes,
SAFTA winners Bongile Mantsai
Hamilton Dlamini
Hlubi Mboya
S'dumo Mtshali
Siv Ngesi
Sello Maake kaNcube
Thando Thabethe (Reyka)
Blood Psalms is shot in the Eastern Cape, Gauteng and North West provinces.
