Tuiskoms is Netflix’s new Afrikaans-language series which launches on the service on 28 February 2024. The seven-episode series follows Fleur (portrayed by Amalia Uys), a chef and mom facing a tough set of circumstances. Down but not out for the count, Fleur relocates to restart and refocus in search of a new opportunity.

The late Michelle Botes, renowned for her previous portrayals of iconic villains in South African television, takes on a gentler role as a mother and confidant in Tuiskoms. This casting choice offers viewers a unique opportunity to see the acclaimed actress in a new light.
