About Dwaalster
Dwaalster is a South African, Afrikaans-language television drama series created by Nicola Hanekom and set in the fictional Karoo town of Maanhaarsdrif, which is populated by interesting and mysterious residents. In Maanhaarsdrif there is also a fixation with stars and stargazing, while some inhabitants are even moonstruck (proverbially speaking).
Directed by Nicola Hanekom, Dwaalster leans on a strong ensemble — Tinarie Van Wyk-Loots, Jacques Bessenger, Albert Maritz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2019.
