This September HBO and the BBC present a spirited new drama series about one woman's crusade for justice, one case at a time: The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency which premieres on Thursday, September 24.
As the first major film or television production to be shot in full in Botswana, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency follows the 2008 film based on Alexander McCall Smith's novel.
The first series takes us back to Botswana and to the narrative's main character Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott) who runs Garbone's only lady detective agency.
With Precious Ramotswe's infamous quick wittedness and infallible instincts, the audience are once again embroiled in the murky world of scandals and misdeeds that come to pass for life in this part of Botswana, South Africa.
The series begins with the agency facing financial problems.
In addition, poisoning, disappearances, accidental deaths and a rival detective agency to contend with, life it seems is never dull.
The drama sees the return of a number of familiar faces through two-time Grammy award winner Jill Scott who plays Precious Ramotswe, with help from her loyal secretary Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), her irrepressible hairdressing neighbour, BK (Desmond Dube) and her trusted friend JLB Matekoni (Lucian Msamati) who wants more than just friendship.
