Are we supposed to create a new show forum request here, under this topic?

OR create the request where we usually do but using the given template?

Appreciate your confirmation, thanks!

@Snazzy Daisy The idea is to create a request here in this topic. I'll then create the first topic out of the post just like I did the topics.

Just an FYI, the features necessary to upload the headers don't show up immediately upon forum creation. However, I'm saving the headers before moving the post, so the headers will be added once possible.  

Turns out, it was a bug, so it should be a non-issue.

TITLE: White Lies

CATEGORY: Drama

NETWORK: Sundance Now and AMC+ 

RELEASE DATE: December 5, 2024 

White Lies is an 8 episode drama TV Series streaming the first 2 episodes on December 5, 2024 on Sundance Now and AMC+. White Lies premiered in South Africa on M-Net, DStv channel 101 in March 2024 and in Australia on the streaming service Stan in April 2024.

Set in the wealthy neighborhood of Bishopscourt in Cape Town, South Africa, investigative journalist Edie Hansen gets caught up in the ugly underbelly that lies beneath the picturesque beauty of the city, dragging her back to her turbulent past. Following her estranged brother’s murder in his luxury home, 

Edie’s world plunges deeper into chaos when her teenage niece and nephew are identified as the prime suspects for the crime.

As Edie investigates, she finds herself at loggerheads with veteran detective Forty Bell and grapples with the crumbling local police force, a corrupt political system, and the secretive world of extreme Cape Town wealth.

Roxanne Blaise as Bernice Bell, Forty's wife

Brendon Daniels as Forty Bell
Fortune Bell has been around the block. Formerly a detective with the Hawks, he was demoted after bungling a high-profile murder investigation that led him to relapse into past bad habits, including a gambling addiction that emerges at times of stress. Forty is an honest cop and an honourable man, but he gives nothing of himself to the world, in contrast to his home life with his wife and daughters, where he is the very best version of himself. He is stricken with guilt for the suffering he has inflicted on them, and his desire to do what’s best for them comes in conflict with his loathing of the rich and powerful, who do what they please without consequence.

Athenkosi Mfamela as Peri Zondo
Constable Zondo is a hard-working, serious young man who has come from extreme poverty and overcome many challenges. He is a rookie policeman with no confidence in himself. His search for a mentor leads him to Forty, but can the damaged senior detective live up to Peri’s expectations?

Jane de Wet as (Teen) Edie

Natalie Dormer as Edie Hansen
Edie Hansen has dedicated her life to the pursuit and exposure of the truth, but she conceals her own secrets beneath an abrasive sense of humour and personal walls as high as any around the grand homes of Bishopscourt. But the day of her brother’s murder is also the day she discovers that she is three months pregnant with a baby she neither expects nor wants. Over the course of the series, all the defences she has built against the world are going to crumble, one by one.

Langley Kirkwood as Andrew McKenzie, Edie Hansen's brother, Daniel and Jaime's departed dad. Outwardly Andrew is a lot of fun: intelligent, witty, a little flirty, funny. But he is driven relentlessly to achieve and to overcome his hidden humble origins. He is a hollow man who has spent most of his life faking it 'til he makes it, and that has cut him off from genuine intimacy or connection, even with those closest to him. He is so afraid of losing what he has gained and being seen for who he is, that he exerts intense control over everything in his life – including his family.

Caely-Jo Levy as Olivia Mckenzie
Olivia is Daniel and Jaime’s mother and wife to Andrew McKenzie. She is the daughter of a wealthy Cape Town family that lost its money and tumbled down the social ladder, and she grew up determined to return to the wealth and status of a Bishopscourt lifestyle. She has a permanent sense of life owing her more than it has given her, and her deep feeling of neglect and emptiness drives her to look for comfort in the least expected of places.

Morgan Santo as Jaime McKenzie
The shy younger McKenzie sibling, Jaime is struggling to emerge from a sense of her mother’s disapproval and disappointment. 

Daniel Schultz as Daniel McKenzie
Daniel is the golden boy: handsome, athletic, and popular. Everything comes easily to him, but he cares too much about what other people think. Appearances mean more to him than any authentic sense of self, and he is haunted by a responsibility to the family name and his father’s expectations for his future. Daniel becomes very protective of his sister, especially following their father's murder when she is in danger of collapsing into herself, and especially when he becomes aware of their creepy neighbour, Robert Weber.

Chi Mhende as Pearl Gappah, the McKenzies’ domestic worker. The maid may be a key witness in the case.

Daniel Janks as Avi Kapilevich
Avi is an advocate with his own small law firm. He is sincere and serious in his intentions, but wry and playful in his manner. He defends Daniel and Jaime against the accusation of murder and has a romantic history with Edie. She loves him for his kindness and generosity of heart, and the fact that he can make her laugh, even when she’s at her angriest and most defensive. He takes her seriously, but sees through her tough veneer to what really matters.

Warrick Grier as Werner Weber, the wealthy and successful neighbour of the McKenzies.
Werner Weber is a wealthy German businessman who has been living in South Africa for the past twenty years. He divorced his first wife shortly after the birth of their son Robert, paid her off and assumed custody from her, and there have been four wives since. His current wife is Nonzi, a former beauty queen, now trapped in her gilded cage. He is meticulous, orderly and incredibly arrogant. He amuses himself at the expense of other people and doesn’t care what they think of him. He may be the only person in Bishopscourt who always tells the truth.

Katlego Lebogang as Nonzi Weber, Werner Weber's current wife.

Brandon Jones as Robert Weber, the creepy neighbour son of Werner Weber, the author of the mysterious love poem, he is infatuated with someone in the McKenzie household.
