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.[1] 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[2] and wrote the episodes on her own, with English writer Mark Needham translating them from German into English.[3] The world premiere of the series was scheduled for June 23, 2016, on Polish channel TVN.[4]
