UK Premiere for South African Crime Drama Catch Me A Killer

Prepare to immerse yourself in the chilling and thought-provoking world of Catch Me a Killer, a brand new series making its UK premiere on Tuesday 5th March 2024 at 9pm on Alibi. This gripping show is based on the equally compelling book of the same name and delves into the true story of Micki Pistorius, South Africa’s first serial killer profiler.

In this brooding dramatic thriller, Micki, portrayed by Charlotte Hope, navigates the treacherous waters of her personal life while facing the increasing darkness that comes with unraveling the minds of some of South Africa’s most notorious serial killers. Working within the South African Police Service during Apartheid adds an extra layer of complexity to her already challenging task.

The debut episode, titled “The Station Strangler Part 1,” takes us back to 1994, against the backdrop of a newly democratic country. Micki joins a police task team dedicated to capturing a heinous serial killer known as the Station Strangler. This merciless murderer has left behind a trail of 22 young victims, and it’s up to Micki and her colleagues to put an end to his reign of terror.

As she steps into this male-dominated arena, Micki must confront not only the evil lurking within these criminals but also battle against being seen as an outsider both within the police force and in the community she serves. The intricate web woven between her personal struggles and professional pursuit creates an engrossing narrative that will keep viewers on edge throughout.

Don’t miss out on this suspenseful new series, premiering on Tuesday 5th March 2024 at 9pm on Alibi. All episodes will also be available on demand for Sky, Virgin, and NOW subscribers.
