MultiChoice's Showmax video streamer has given a first look teaser "exclusively" to the American outlet Deadline for its upcoming contemporary Western drama series Outlaws that revolves around two cattle farming families on opposite sides of the Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal border.
Sharing multiple similarities to Paramount's Yellowstone drama series on M-Net (DStv 101) with Kevin Costner, Outlaws is described as "a contemporary Western-inspired drama series", produced by Tshedza Pictures' Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon.
The Showmax Original that doesn't have a release date yet, is set on the "lawless land" on the border between Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal where the warring Zulu family of the Biyelas are battling the Basotho cattle-raiding Tseole family in Lesotho.
The Outlaws cast consists of Lehlohonolo Mayeza as Leruo Tseole and Nirvana Nokwe-Mseleku as Sihle Biyela.
Siyabonga Shibe portrays the Biyela patriarch with Mmabatho Mogomotsi as the Tseole matriarch, together with Nolwazi Shange, Mnqobi Kunene and Thembinkosi Mthembu.
