Cape Town (also known as Mat Joubert) is a South African-German produced TV-series based on the novel Dead before dying by author Deon Meyer. The series is produced by German company all-in-production, whose head Annette Reeker bought rights 5 years before starting the production. Produced without any television channel backing it, Reeker funded the series with private earnings of about 6 Million Euro and wrote the episodes on her own, with English writer Mark Needham translating them from German into English. World premiere of the series has been scheduled for June 23, 2016, on Polish channel TVN (Poland).

Plot

Cop Mat Joubert is devastated after his wife, also working for the police, has been murdered, spending his time on alcohol and suicidal thoughts. After being back on the job, he is partnered with a new colleague and has to investigate the murders of several men, all shot with the same German weapon. While on another place of Cape Town, young female models are drugged, raped and murdered.
