Speaking on the series, Showmax Head of Content, Candice Fangueiro shared:
“ 'Troukoors' is like good champagne: light and bubbly and more-ish, with a tendency to bring out people’s naughty sides, it is like younger or The Bold Type. However, it went against the splendor and romance of the cape wedding industry.“
The new show comes amid a turnout of African originals listed by the streaming platform in 2021.
