Sorry, Parkhurst College Doesn't Actually Exist — Here's Where Blood & Water Was Filmed

Blood & Water [1] may have just dropped on Netflix, but we're already obsessed. The six-episode South African series centres around a 16-year-old student named Puleng Khulamo (Ama Qamata) who transfers into the prestigious Parkhurst College in hopes of figuring out what happened to her abducted sister [2]. This then leads to to Puleng becoming obsessed with one of the school's most popular students, Fikile Bhele (Khosi Ngema), who she swears is her long-lost sister.

Helmed by director Nosipho Dumisa, the series was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa. However, Parkhurst College isn't actually a real institution [3] (there is a Parkhurst Primary School, though), so most of the filming took place at the University of Cape Town [4] and around the city [5].

From high school drama to teenage love, the show has everything you'd want. Not to mention, the cast is gorgeous! So if you haven't had a chance to dive in yet, we highly suggest you do!
