Nosipho Dumisa, who made her mark globally with <em>Nommer 37<\/em>, is directing.<\/p>\n<p>The series is due to start production in 2019 and is expected to launch globally in 190 countries in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGambit Films and I are so excited to be working with Netflix on this explosive young adult drama, with not only a cool look at strong female leads but also a powerful mystery at its core,\u201d Dumisa said. \u201cAs a director who loves genre, this series combines the best of so many and isn\u2019t shy to delve into the real issues of youth culture, whilst jam-packing it with twists that will keep viewers guessing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to be investing further in African content and to partner with Nosipho and the team at Gambit Films to bring our second original series from South Africa to Netflix,\u201d said Kelly Luegenbiehl, VP of international originals for Europe, Turkey and Africa at Netflix. \u201cGreat stories are universal, so we expect this gripping teen drama, with its view on contemporary high school life, to appeal to young adults from South Africa, as well as the rest of the world. Following on the heels of <em>Queen Sono<\/em>,<em> Blood &amp; Water<\/em> is the next step in our further investment in original African content and we&#8217;re excited to explore more projects across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blood &amp;
