Take a look at Room 9 , South Africa's answer to The X-Files
"I did a show many years ago called Charlie Jade for a Canadian company and that was fascinating because I came to Cape Town to do this science fiction triple universe show," Room 9 creator and director Darrell Roodt tells SFX . "It was really interesting to work on and I never understood why we weren’t doing this ourselves, why it took Canadians to come into South Africa and imagine this for us.
"I was always really intrigued by shows like CSI and all those American investigation things and I just though it’d be cool if we could put one in a South African context or an African context and see how it played out."
You can watch the trailer below, ahead of the show's debut on The Africa Channel on Monday 8 July. You'll be able to read more about Room 9 on sfx.co.uk next week.
