About Infinity Films

Established in 2011 we are a boutique South African production company specialising in the development and production of scripted content. To date, we have produced 143 episodes of scripted television for Multichoice (South Africa’s premium satellite service). Working across multiple genres spanning crime, legal, romance, family and youth, we have delved into the vast spectrum of human existence to try and uncover the connections that bind us. Our projects have been well-received by audiences, and have also received critical acclaim. Currently we are excited about the launch of our first Netflix original, Tuiskoms (Homecoming) in February 2025.

With an extensive network of crew and creative partners, we are well-positioned to produce high-quality television series throughout southern Africa. This, coupled with the fact that we, as producers, have worked in all facets of production from lighting to wardrobe to finance to post-production, means that we understand all these processes and can ensure a project’s successful delivery from start to finish. But all of this has no meaning if there is no story.

This is how we define ourselves, and what we believe differentiates us from other companies in South Africa. We are first and foremost storytellers and writers. It is the idea that is important. It is the meaning of what is being said and shown that ultimately touches the audience. Coming from diverse entertainment backgrounds such as theatre, radio, and even daily soaps, we have honed our skills as TV writers and producers over nearly a decade and believe that we can tell any story, no matter what the creative or technical challenges are.

OUR PROJECTS

Homecoming

Tuiskoms is a heartfelt dramedy about love, loss, and starting over, set in the breathtaking coastal town of Wilderness. After a disastrous public meltdown costs Fleur her restaurant, home, and reputation, she and her teenage daughter seek refuge with her sharp-tongued, romance-novelist mother. Taking an unexpected job at a local flower shop, Fleur slowly begins to rebuild her life, finding community, healing, and a chance at love where she least expects it. With complex family ties, small-town charm, and plenty of romance, Tuiskoms is a South African take on fresh starts—think Virgin River with a little more humor and a lot more flowers.

Fraction

Fraksie is a high-stakes drama, where five tech entrepreneurs gamble with power, wealth, and relationships. An ambitious investment manager, risks everything on a massive stock deal—but when it crumbles, he’s left scrambling to pick up the pieces. Alongside his estranged friends, a bitter IT genius, and a reckless marketing whiz, he becomes entangled in a high-stakes battle over an AI-driven financial platform that could make them all rich—or destroy them. A sharp, gripping series in the vein of Billions and Succession, Fraksie explores ambition, betrayal, and the cost of playing the game at the highest level.

City Slickers

In Plaasjapie, 18 city slickers leave their comfortable lives behind to fend for themselves on a farm. Over 21 days the contestants learn what it takes to live on a farm. Split into two teams they face daily chores, farm work and challenges to decide who stays and who goes. In the end, the top two players compete in a series of challenges to decide who gets the ultimate prize of 1 million rand. Plaasjapie is a new take on the classic survival-type reality shows, testing not only the contestants' endurance but also their humanity.

The Book Club

Die Boekklub is set in a small town in a semi-desert area in South Africa called the Karoo. A young hipster from Cape Town inherits his grandmother's guesthouse and a book club that has existed for 25 years. Due to her last will, he is forced to stay in the town for a year. Little does he know that this will be the start of an incredible journey of self-discovery. Together with the members of the book club - each with their own challenges - his life will be changed forever. It is a dramedy in the style of Northern Exposure with touches of Grey's Anatomy and the magic realism of A Hundred Years of Solitude.

Wedding Fever

Troukoors is a dramedy about 3 young women set against the crazy world of wedding planning. After a freak accident, Jessica becomes the senior wedding planner at her company. This sets her on a path of discovering her true self and finding the perfect imperfect man. Together with her software developer sister and cake-baking best friend they try to navigate family, life, love and everything else. In the spirit of shows such as Younger and The Bold Type, Wedding Fever is a fast-paced look at dating and love in your early 30s.

Complex

Kompleks is a teenage love story told across multiple universes. In one universe Sean and Mika are 18 and alone for the winter holidays. They meet unexpectedly and share a few weeks together that influence their entire lives. In another universe, they are 40 and leading separate lives, but they can't help but wonder what happened to the other. Told with a narrator, crossing time and space and using varied storytelling techniques, Complex is a unique viewing experience and perspective on teenage love and the consequences of our choices.

Fine Print

Fynskrif is a family and legal drama centred around the law firm of Van Wyk & Partners in Cape Town. The series starts with one of the partners retiring and the head of the firm handing over the position to his son - who has just returned from Kenya - instead of giving it to his daughter - who has worked at the firm all her life. In each of the 13 episodes, the lawyers deal with civil cases while trying to keep their tenuous personal and family lives together. It’s a mixture of The Good Wife, Boston Legal, Parenthood and Brothers and Sisters.

The Boland Murders

Die Boland Moorde revolves around a fictitious detective unit under the leadership of lieutenants Andre Fourie and Shane Williams. Together with their shrewd team, they solve murders in and around the Winelands in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The series is based on British whodunnits such as Lewis and Midsomer Murders and the detectives use deduction and logic to find the culprit. The tone of the series is light and quirky and asks the audience to solve the riddles with the detectives.
