Blood & Water is a 2020 South African teen crime drama following Puleng Kumalo, who transfers to a prestigious school in Cape Town as part of her ongoing search for her sister, Phume, who was abducted as a baby. Blood & Water is one of a number of Netflix series set in elite or prestigious schools – the others being Elite, Class, and AlRawabi School for Girls – and as well as shared elements, there have been a few crossovers specifically between Blood & Water and Elite. This suggests the shows are broadly considered to be within the same universe.

Blood & Water was well-received and fannish discussions popped up in various social media spaces; edits are fairly popular on TikTok and discussions often take place in the comments sections of these edits. On Tumblr, screen caps and discussions are more popular, along with a small number of other fanworks, while episode discussions and reactions are more common on Reddit, Facebook (where a popular group exists), and Twitter. There seems to be very little fanfiction for the show as of March 2024.
