Fraxie, KykNET’s all-new drama series will keep viewers on the edge of their seats with an intriguing plot and characters.
One of the series’ writers and producers, Louis Pretorius, said that the series is darker than their previous works, and viewers should be aware that there will be moments when some of the characters will be hard to like.
The series, set in Stellenbosch, was written and produced by Louis and Albert Snyman. They were also responsible for hit series like Book club, True course and Financial crisis.
