SHOWMAX RELEASES TRAILER FOR SEASON TWO OF ‘DAM’

African streaming service Showmax released the freaky first trailer for season two of DAM, which premieres on the streaming service on 16 February. New episodes will be released on Thursdays. 

Created by four-time SAFTA winner Alex Yazbek, the small town psychological thriller was one of the 10 most-watched titles of 2021 on Showmax and the most nominated drama series at the 2022 SAFTAs. The series earned rave reviews for breaking the mould of South African TV.

Season two is set three months after the Spring Festival. The cult’s ritual sacrifice seems to have worked: rain has come and transformed the land. Yola has no memory of anything since her return for her father’s funeral. 

Can she put the missing pieces together as diamonds are discovered, a mass grave uncovered and a monster surfaces in the dam?

Lea Vivier and Pallance Dladla return in their SAFTA-nominated roles as Yola and Themba. Natasha Loring reprises her SAFTA-winning role as Yola’s sister, Sienna. 

Made in partnership with Picture Tree, the Showmax Original also won Best Art Direction for Sue Steele at the 2022 SAFTAs. 

The trailer gives us first glimpses of the impressive returning cast, which includes:

• SAFTA winners Antoinette Louw and Tarryn Wyngaard
• Fleur du Cap winner and Africa Movie Academy Award nominee Faniswa Yisa
• Laudo Liebenberg as Rudy and Francis Chouler as Dirk, whose love triangle with Sienna gets even more complicated this season.
