TX Time: 22h10
Genre: Drama
Elisabeth Moss reprises her role as Offred/June, a handmaid forced into sexual servitude as one of the few fertile women left in the world.
Though the end of Season 1 gave little closure, Season 2 opens with even less resolution: a now pregnant Offred must deal with the consequences of her decision to defy the sadistic matriarch of the handmaids, Aunt Lydia.
Season 2 will also detail the fates of the other handmaids, as well as the backstory of Emily, Offred's former Handmaid companion.

Channel: Mzansi Wethu (DStv 163)
TX Time: 20h30
Genre: Drama
The first season followed Ipeleng and her long time on-off boyfriend Thatho, as well as the motley crew of friends and family in the form of Mandisa, Vumani, Thabang, Matli and Ntandokazi.
Last season ended with Thato marrying Ntandokazi against dizzying odds, and a heartbroken Ipeleng throwing caution to the wind and straying from her good girl character. And the best part? The pregnancy bomb!
The new season picks up just over four months after all the drama and truth bombs. This time, not only is Ipeleng's dogged determination to get the perfect life in the form of a marriage and children clouding her judgment, it also leads her to make a tragic error that costs her the very thing that she has always wanted.
