Gripping dramas and documentaries on M-Net
The People vs VBS|Thursdays from 2 April on M-Net
The People vs VBS is a true-crime documentary series from multi-award-winners IdeaCandy about a nearly two billion rand bank heist – allegedly orchestrated by the bank’s own executives.
Imagine waking up to find your life savings are gone forever. According to VBS liquidator Walter Stander, that’s what happened to an 86-year-old woman, who’d saved R650 000 over 30 years as “a nest egg for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren to go to college.” She lost it all in 2018, as did many others from rural and low-income communities.
The four-part Showmax Original is directed by Richard Finn Gregory and produced by Elle Oosthuizen and Wim Steyn. Gregory and Oosthuizen were named the Sanlam Group Financial Journalists of the Year in 2022 for Steinheist. They were also behind the 2025 International Emmy nominee School Ties. With court proceedings still unfolding eight years after the collapse, The People vs. VBS revisits a scandal that remains far from resolved.
The Madison|Mondays from 16 March at 6PM on M-Net
Set in Montana’s breathtaking Madison River valley, The Madison is the most intimate drama yet from Taylor Sheridan. The series follows a New York family retreating west after a tragedy threatens to unravel their lives, delivering a powerful exploration of grief, healing and human connection against a cinematic frontier backdrop.
Triple Oscar nominee Michelle Pfeiffer and Emmy nominee Kurt Russell lead an all-star cast, with direction from Emmy nominee Christina Alexandra Voros (known for Yellowstone). Already named one of The Hollywood Reporter’s Most Anticipated TV Shows of 2026, The Madison promises prestige storytelling on a truly epic scale.
My F*k, Marelize|Sunday, 22 March 8PM on M-Net
My F*k, Marelize! is a coming-of-age story about Heidi, a strong-willed woman hiding her cancer from her family, and Marelize, her accident-prone daughter who needs to learn how to ride a bike to become an au pair in the Netherlands.
The most-watched South African film in local cinemas in 2025, My F*k, Marelize! won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for Je-ani Swiegelaar and Zandelle Meyer at Silwerskerm 2025, where it also took home the Audience Award. Based on the true story behind that viral moment with the rugby poles, My F*k, Marelize! was hailed by Leon van Nierop as “one of the best Afrikaans films of the past few years.”
Girl Taken|Wednesdays from 25 March at 9PM
Based on Hollie Overton’s bestselling novel Baby Doll, Girl Taken follows twin sisters Lily and Abby. Lily is abducted from their rural English hometown by a local teacher. When she finally escapes, she discovers that the world she longed to return to has moved on without her.
Sisters Tallulah and Delphi Evans play Lily and Abby, with Emmy nominee Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones) as the teacher. In their four-star review, The Guardian says, “Alfie Allen is incredible in this twisty tale… a deeply engaging, psychologically complex thriller that is a cut above the rest.”
