M-Net and Fremantle have teamed up to create an eight-episode South African crime drama "Rika Reyka", which will be broadcast in M-Net, South Africa, in July 2021, with Fremantle in charge of global distribution. Kim Engelbrecht of the Flash plays Reyka Gama, a psychologically flawed but talented crime profiler. Troubled by the past, she is investigating several brutal murders committed by a serial killer in a sugarcane field in KwaZulu-Natal province. Game of Thrones Iain Glen plays the charismatic farmer Speelman, who is very manipulative. Reyka was kidnapped by him when he was a child. Reyka was traumatized by the experience, but it also made her good at getting into the minds of criminals and knowing exactly what they were thinking. The influence of Peelman on Reyka and the relationship between Reyka and mother Elsa form part of the background of the story.
