The eight-part limited crime drama The Night Of (previously titled: Crime), created by the acclaimed writers of The Wire and Schindler’s List, will be simulcast with the U.S., exclusively on M-Net Edge on DStv.
Also, following an exclusive agreement with HBO, Episode 1 is already available on catch up for 28 days since June 2. It is also available for handheld devices.

Golden Globe nominee, John Turturro, stars as an embattled defence attorney who lucks into the biggest case of his career. His young Pakistani-American client, played by Riz Ahmed, is a likeable, unassuming college student whose life – and family –are thrown into the pit of New York City’s criminal, legal and judicial system, when he becomes the prime suspect in the case.
The Night Of stars John Turturro (O Brother Where Art Thou?, the Transformers movies) as Stone, Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler) as Naz, Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire, Boardwalk Empire) as Freddy, Bill Camp (12 Years a Slave) as Det. Dennis Box, and Jeannie Berlin (The Heartbreak Kid) as Helen Weiss, the prosecutor in the trial.
