The backdrop of Outlaws and when it will be available for streaming
Outlaws is produced by Tshedza Pictures and was shot on the borders of Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal.
It will be available to stream on Showmax on 6 September.
The popular streaming platform had viewers hyped when they shared a snippet of what it's about the drama that will be unfolding.
"The borderlands in the KZN Underberg turn into a battlefield in the new Showmax Original drama series. Get ready, Outlaws streams soon."
In a statement shared with Briefly News, the star of the show, Nolwazi Shange-Ngubeni, explained that she agreed to the show because it was her first Showmax gig.

"I was immediately excited by the idea of being involved in action sequences and challenging my body in that way. It's a first for me in the years that I have been working. I'm not a small girl, and I found it quiet cool that I could express and use my body in that way."
Describing the first of its kind series in SA, Nolwazi said it is 'epic.'
