Extraordinary

Channel: Disney+
TX Time: 00h01
Genre: Superhero, Comedy

Extraordinary

Extraordinary follows Jen, a young, painfully self-aware woman who lives in a world where everyone has a superpower... except her.

This is a fresh comedy about being young and finding your feet in a confusing world, when all you'll ever be is 'ordinary'.

Extraordinary is a celebration of the anti-superhero, giving people permission to embrace their general okay-ness.

Jen is a late bloomer who's watched everyone around her get a power while still waiting on her own.

She's on a quest to get one and bounces between hope and despair on a daily basis.

An underachiever in every other aspect of her life, Jen is pinning all her hopes on her elusive power.

Carrie is Jen's best friend and flatmate.

Poor, sweet Carrie is a bit of a wallflower, not helped by her power to channel the dead who often overshadow her.

If Jen's the hero, Carrie is the trusty sidekick.

Kash is Carrie's long-term boyfriend. He has the power to reverse time, but only by a few minutes.

Kash spends his days chasing ever more unrealistic dreams, often inspired by his romantic nostalgia for all things superhero.

Mary is Jen's mum, who can technically control technology but can barely work her own smartphone.

Mary has the best of intentions when it comes to helping Jen, but her motherly love is often expressed via passive aggressive meddling.

Andy is Jen's younger half-sister and the golden child of the family.

Talented and popular, Jen can't help but help but feel in constant competition with her cocky sibling.

Ian is Andy's dad and Mary's second husband.

Ian has the power to physically feel the emotions of others which makes him deeply, irritatingly empathetic.

Ingane Yam' 2

Channel: Mzansi Wethu (DStv 163)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Reality

Ingane Yam' 2

Parents who have secret children out of wedlock introduce them to their spouses and families in this new reality show.

Many romantic entanglements result in spouses hiding the existence of children they had with other partners.

In these cases, the children are often made to feel like outsiders and are not given an opportunity to connect with their siblings.

Ingane Yam' narrates the stories of parents who, after years of procrastination, introduce their secret children to their spouses and families to help give the children a sense of belonging.

The show delves into why parents hide children from their past and how their families react to the big reveal of the child.

It also aims to show how children suffer by being denied their true identity and how they deal with rejection from people who should be taking care of them.

Ingane Yam' is hosted by "Real Housewives" star Lethabo Mathatho.

In the Season 2 premiere: Christopher is in a serious three-year relationship and he impregnated someone who claimed to be on contraceptives.

Now it's time for him to reveal his secret to his girlfriend.
 

Chopped 53

Channel: Food Network (DStv 175)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Food, Reality Competition

Chopped 53

In this cooking competition it's all about skill, speed and ingenuity as four aspiring chefs compete before a panel of three expert judges.

Course by course, the chefs must take a basket of mystery ingredients, with a different theme each time, and turn it into an extraordinary meal.

Then, they must survive the Chopping Block, where the judges are waiting to be wowed - and they are not shy about voicing their culinary criticisms.

In the Season 53 premiere, "Social Showdown": They're hot on social media, but do four online cooking stars have what it takes to compete on Chopped?

With scores of fans and followers watching, there's a lot at stake for these competitors, who could be chopped and - gasp! - unfollowed.

Muscling through the appetizer round proves tough for one competitor, who runs into trouble with the mussels in the basket.

In round two, the judges are on the edge of their seats, hoping the cooks' struggles don't sabotage their success.

In the dessert round, two social media stars are left to post memories of a lifetime from the Chopped kitchen.
 

Vanderpump Rules 5

Channel: E! (DStv 124)
TX Time: 19h05
Genre: Docu-Reality

Vanderpump Rules 5

Lisa Vanderpump and her crew of current and former SURvers are back for another round of wild, sexy and utterly unpredictable chaos.

The new season of Vanderpump Rules once again partners Lisa with Jax Taylor, Stassi Schroeder, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, James Kennedy, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, Kristen Doute and Lala Kent.

Amidst the constant chaos with her staff, Lisa manages to keep it classy as she balances her multiple restaurants, businesses and philanthropic efforts.

New to the SUR staff is Jax's country-tough girlfriend, Brittany Cartwright, who must learn to live with a career playboy, gossip king, and notorious stretcher of the truth.

Shortly after Brittany is hired, Jax spreads a scandalous rumour about her that threatens the best relationship he's ever had.

With two months to go before their big day, Tom Schwartz and Katie's wedding planning is in full swing; they have even asked Lisa to officiate the ceremony.

The two decide to throw a wild joint bachelor/bachelorette party in New Orleans - but the celebration challenges their relationship in ways they never expected, making everyone wonder if the two will keep it together long enough to make it down the aisle.

Scheana attempts to manage her friendships within the Stassi/Katie/Kristen BFF triangle, and although Stassi's officially made her way back into the SUR circle, she wonders if she will ever find love again.

Back with a vengeance, Lala has never been one to shy away from vocalising colourful opinions about her co-workers, and James continues to have an explosive temper, making the pair officially SUR's biggest outcasts.

On the flip side, Tom Sandoval and Ariana find themselves caught in the middle of a SUR war as they try to maintain their friendships with James and Lala before being forced to pick sides.

In the Season 5 premiere, "Summer Bodies": Lisa's SUR Restaurant is hotter than ever, but the conflict within her staff is at an all-time high when Jax jeopardizes the best relationship he's ever had after spreading a shocking rumour involving his girlfriend Brittany and Kristen.

Meanwhile, Stassi rallies the girls against James and Lala for fat shaming bride-to-be Katie, but Schwartz worries Stassi's return has brought out the worst in his fiancée.

Finally, the group uncovers a bit of scandalous gossip about Lala's love life.

Inthe second episode of the weekday double bill, "What Went Down": Lisa organises a huge dog charity event with the help of the SUR staff and Katie on board as her assistant.

Later, Brittany threatens to leave Jax for spreading rumours of her sexual encounter with Kristen all over SUR, and James embarks on an "Apology Tour" for the horrible things he said to Scheana and Katie.

Meanwhile, Tom Schwartz asks for a pre-nuptial agreement as he panics at the skyrocketing budget of his upcoming wedding.
