MHz Choice, recently named by The Easy Reader News as a “must-have streaming service,” announces their September lineup, including French-Senegalese drama Wara. Hailed as “The African Borgen” and nominated for Best International Panorama Series at Series Mania 2020, this eight-part mini-series profiles Moutari Wara (Issaka Sawodogo), a law professor who after years in exile is allowed to return to his home country but on one condition: that he doesn’t get involved in politics. But when local elections are organized early, Aïcha (France Nancy Goulian), one of his law students, pushes him to get involved personally against corruption and cronyism.
Another September premiere featuring a hometown return of the main character is Captain Maria, a new Italian mystery starring Vanessa Incontrada as a police captain looking to recharge her career in Puglia and track down her husband’s killer.
The second and final season of Spanish “Godfather-esque” series Gigantes makes its debut on September 21st. In the second installment of this gripping series, the women take the lead as the Guerrero men are on the run as they try to stay on top of Madrid’s criminal underworld.
Also of note in September is the return of an MHz Choice subscriber favorite, the hit Swiss mystery series The Undertaker starring actor-comedian Mike Müller as Luc Conrad – an ex-cop turned undertaker investigating strange deaths in a small Swiss canton.
The full September 2021 schedule is available here.
