“I can’t wait for you to see our new show Parish. I play the badass Shamiso Tongai alongside some of the finest and remarkable talent. Parish premieres in 2024 on AMC TV and AMC Plus,” averred Mbuli on her Instagram.

Based on the BBC One series The Driver, Parish tells the story of Gray Parish who is portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito. Parish is a good man with a troubled past, who gave up his life of crime for life as a family man.

But when his son is violently murdered, old habits return, sending him on a relentless quest with moral intentions and dangerous consequences. Esposito is known for his roles on award-winning productions such as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

“Giancarlo is a singular talent who is already beloved by AMC viewers through his standout performances in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul,” Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, said in a statement.
