“In a country like South Africa, where violence especially against women, is so rife, these are some of the stories that need to be told. In Season 2, the series really gets to grips with some of these crimes and if nothing else, our viewers will be reminded that sometimes the most brutal killers, are the strangers we know.” – Chwayitisa Futshane, Creator, Producer and Executive Producer of Strangers You Know.
