New Drama Coming To SABC3

SABC3 will start broadcasting a new 26 part drama series, produced for SABC3 by Rous House Productions with directors Luke Rous and Josh Rous and Henrietta Gryffenberg heading up the writing team, called High Rollers 

High Rollers is set in the world of gambling, starring actors such as Fezile Mpela, Brümilda van Rensburg, Rolanda Marais, JP van den Bergh and Lizelle Smit.

Principal photography on High Rollers started in the middle of January.

SABC3 promises "high production values, an outstanding cast, complex characters and a compelling storyline that pivots around the risky gambles we take in life".

"We envisaged the casino as a metaphor for life and how we gamble in a daily basis with love, religion and family," says Luke Rous in a press statement about the hour long drama. 

" Of course the central focus is on the human drama and the interpersonal dynamics at play, with the characters' vices and ambition threatening to destroy their lives and those of their loved ones."

According to Luke Rous the aim with High Rollers is to "craft a dynastic family saga with strong, well-drawn characters that hook the viewer and reel them into the unfolding drama."

High Rollers will premiere on SABC3 on Tuesday 2 April at 20:30.
