“Africa HD has secured the format rights to a South African franchise of Law and Order. They intend to start filming the first 12 part series in May of 2012. The series will be entirely based in Cape Town and will feature a South African cast. In addition, the majority of the crew will be sourced locally. To facilitate this, the producers have partnered with local production company DO Productions. The Cape Film Commission has promised to give them hands-on assistance with securing locations, permits and any other aspects to do with filming that they will require,”

Law & Order coming to Cape Town

No, definitely not, the franchise is not dead. It is indeed still very much alive.

With shows still in production in the USA (SVU), London, Russia and now South Africa, Law & Order is still as strong as ever.

And you know what? Although Afrikaans is a possibility, this new show will probably be in English, so most people will be able to understand it. Just remember though that there will be differences between their English and North American English. (Something BBC America is using in their very well made promos for Law & Order: UK).

I do not agree. the franchise is not dead.

Could be interesting - at least it'd give me a better idea as to how people are punished in South Africa cos at the mo something about murderers gaining forgiveness by breaking an egg springs to mind, and that can't be right.

well i haven't watch this show dear but i will try to watch
