Sundance Now has picked up the North American rights to a new murder mystery drama starring Natalie Dormer.

White Lies is set in the wealthy Bishopscourt neighborhood in Cape Town, South Africa. The series is a partnership between production company Quizzical Pictures and Pan-African broadcaster M-Net in partnership with Fremantle.

In the series, Dormer stars as an investigative journalist called Edie Hansen alongside Brendon Daniels, who plays detective Forty Bell.

According to the official logline, “Following her estranged brother’s murder in his luxury home, Edie’s world plunges deeper into chaos when her brother’s teenage children become 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 wealth."
