Fatal Seduction release date, cast and trailer for Netflix thriller

Covering her tracks becomes top priority – that is, until Brenda is found dead, and suspects are all around her.

Talking about how she felt when she was first approached to star in Fatal Seduction, Christopher told GLAMOUR SA: "It was quite exciting to see a project of its nature. I’m always so happy to be in projects that push the envelope and push boundaries, and I thought Fatal Seduction was one of those.

"Seeing the script, and then to see it actually performed, and seeing the whole product, yeah, I'm very happy with it and I'm glad it turned out to be exactly what I thought it would be: a very exciting show, a well-written story, something that pushes the envelope."

Alongside Christopher, the series stars Lunathi Mampofu, Ngele Ramulondi and Frances Sholto-Douglas.

Fatal Seduction is a South African remake of Mexican drama Dark Desire, which premiered on Netflix in July 2020 and ran for two seasons on the streaming service.

What is Fatal Seduction about?

Nandi Mahlati (Kgomotso Christopher) is a woman whose marriage is on the brink of falling apart, with a recent miscarriage damaging the relationship between her and her husband, Leonard (Thapelo Mokoena).

Things get even worse when she discovers a suspicious text from his assistant, Ameera (Rizelle Januk), which seems to suggest the two of them are having an affair.

During a much-needed getaway with best friend Brenda (Lunathi Mampofu), Nandi takes her revenge by sleeping with a younger man, with whom she feels an instant connection.

Returning home alone, Nandi is wracked with guilt over her infidelity and devastated once again when Brenda is found dead – with those closest to her among the suspects.
