Showmax has released a first-look teaser for Troukoors (Wedding Fever), the first Showmax Original romcom, which will be available to binge from 13 December 2021.
Troukoors is made by SAFTA winner Louis Pretorius and SAFTA nominee Albert Snyman of Infinity Films, the creators of critically acclaimed and much-loved shows like Die Boekklub and Fynskrif, with regular collaborator Nina Swart directing.
Ilse-Lee van Niekerk (Getroud Met Rugby) stars as Jessica, a wedding planner who's surrounded by love but struggling to find it for herself.
Former child star Blyde Smit (7de Laan) plays Jessica's sister Luca, a software developer who is more fluent in Klingon than flirting. Bianca Flanders (Nêrens, Noord-Kaap) plays her bisexual best friend Abi, a professional baker. SAFTA winner Kevin Smith (Skemerdans) is Abi's dad (and Luca's boss), and Melt Sieberhagen (Proesstraat) as his boyfriend.
The trailer also gives us our first glimpse of the three besties' love interests this season, including Armand Aucamp (Tom in Die Boekklub), Christiaan Schoombie (Warrior), Evan Hengst (Miles in The Kissing Booth 1-3), Danny Ross (Suidooster), and Emma van Heyn.
