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.
