Now in its 5th season, the wildly popular show depicts the cold-blooded and ruthless dynamics of a high security, all-female prison. Violence, corruption and a relentless battle for power are the main themes of Lockdown. Only the strong come out on top in a bid to run the prison from within, more often than not, at a great cost.
Lockdown has maintained a reputation for its suspenseful cliffhangers, shocking plot twists and emotional storylines within the four walls. Combine all these elements with a truly star-studded cast and what we have is a recipe for success that boasts multiple SAFTA awards and nominations.
The stellar cast of Lockdown includes SAFTA-winning actresses Lorcia Kumalo (now also starring in the hit new drama, Still Breathing – link to showpage) and Dawn Thandeka King, who both won awards for their roles in this hit drama series. SAFTA winners Nomsa Buthelezi and Linda Sebezo also joined the cast to complete arguably the most successful all-female cast in South African television history!
This drama is one that will fill any prime viewing slot with watchability and keep viewers coming back for more.
IOL credits Lockdown with being “as explosive as ever…” and “Early reviews suggest Season 5 could be the best yet for the show” according to The Plum List.
