Naspers’ internet TV service Showmax recently broadcasted the trailer of its first original series, "Tali’s Wedding Diary". The comedy series was created for Showmax by Suzelle DIY’s creative team, a successful web series on YouTube.

According to details obtained so far, Tali’s Wedding Diary will mainly target an African audience. The series is about Tali, a young South African coming from a rich family who is getting ready for a wedding while fighting her addiction for social networks. Despite this simple scenario, Showmax promised that the series will be quite successful. 

By releasing online its first original series, Showmax bets on the method that made Netflix’s success, which is betting on content produced for its streaming platform.
