What exactly is the turbo-charged adrenalin sport ‘spinning’ that is taking the world by storm? Find out as the visually breathtaking, award-winning TV series SPINNERS makes its UK debut exclusively on the streaming service STUDIOCANAL Presents on 1st October.

Directed by Jaco Boewer (the man behind acclaimed eco-horror Gaia), South African thriller SPINNERS stars Cantona James as a young man trying to escape gang life by getting involved in the extreme motorsport of ‘spinning’ - itself a dangerous activity that involves driving a car in circles at high speed.

Nominated for Best Series at the 2023 Cannes International Series Festival, and winner of Best Foreign TV Series at the 2024 Shanghai TV Festival, the Cape Town-set show, that features an incredible, diverse ensemble cast, has been described as a cocktail of City of God, the Fast and the Furious franchise and TV show Gomorrah - namely, it is an adrenalised, gritty, action-packed and superbly addictive must watch.

Time to get spinning, before everyone is talking about it!

Synopsis: Ethan is a good kid born on the wrong side of town. In Cape Town’s slums where local gangs make the law, he is soon left with no choice but to work for one of them to support himself and his younger brother. Caught in a web of crime, he discovers he has an incredible talent for spinning, and exciting and extreme motorsport. Could this be his way out from the violent criminal life that seems to be the only option to survive in his neighbourhood?
