Katy Keene

Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Musical, Comedy-Drama

Katy Keene

A Riverdale spinoff, Katy Keene follows the lives and loves of four iconic Archie Comics characters - fashion legend-to-be Katy Keene, singer/songwriter Josie McCoy, performer Jorge Lopez/Ginger and "It Girl" Pepper Smith - as they chase their twenty-something dreams in New York City... together.

Katy designs clothes for anyone she can, including her friend and roommate Josie, whose singing talent catches the attention of Alexander Cabot, a CEO who hopes to reboot the record label division of his father's corporate empire.

But Alexander's dream of signing Josie to a recording contract meets resistance from Cabot Media's powerful senior vice president Alexandra, who also happens to be his twin sister.

Josie and Katy's roommate Jorge works at his family's bodega and has his eye on Broadway, but after a series of rejections, he hopes to take his drag performance career as Ginger to the next level.

The mysterious Pepper Smith plans to open her own version of Andy Warhol's Factory. She has the connections, but no one seems to know where she got her money - or if she really has any at all.

Katy struggles to manage the pressures of her day job at Lacy's Department Store and her very demanding boss, Gloria, who is a legendary personal shopper.

But Katy has the support of her longtime boyfriend, KO Kelly, who has his own dream of becoming a professional boxer.

As these aspiring artists take on the runway, the recording studio, Broadway, and the NYC social scene, they will find more than just a career in the big city - they'll find long-lasting friendship.

In the series premiere, "Pilot": When Katy meets her new roommate Josie, she knows they will be fast friends.

Josie meets record producer Alexander Cabot, but it is all seems too good to be true when Alexandra Cabot gets involved.

After a long day, the group of friends, including "It" girl Pepper, all meet at their favourite hangout, Molly's Crisis, to watch Jorge perform as his alter ego, Ginger, and to see Katy's latest fashion creation.

These two powerhouses produce more professional football players per capita than anywhere else in America.

With this distinction comes a deep, community-wide obsession with winning. But this series is about much more than success on the gridiron.

It's a portrait of a unique American community coming together in order to help its youth succeed in the face of daunting adversity, and helping everyone in the Muck achieve a better life.

Riverdale 4

Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Drama

Riverdale 4

The third season of Riverdale began at the end of summer vacation, with Archie's trial for a murder he didn't commit, orchestrated by Hiram Lodge, building to a shattering conclusion.

Archie was sent to juvenile detention, even as a new threat reared its head in Riverdale: The Gargoyle King.

A figure of myth inspired by the role-playing game Gryphons and Gargoyle, the Gargoyle King started claiming sacrificial victims, beginning with Dilton Doiley.

As Betty and Jughead investigated the deadly game's origins (with their parents, 20 years earlier), Veronica worked ceaselessly to get Archie out of juvie, where he was forced to bare-knuckle box for survival.

She finally succeeded in breaking Archie out, but with Hiram still gunning for him, the red-headed hero broke up with Veronica and headed out of town with Jughead, seeking asylum with Jughead's Serpent mom Gladys Jones.

With Archie and Jughead out of the way, Hiram's criminal takeover of Riverdale continued, with his "candy-making" producing a terrifying side-effect in the students of Riverdale High - inexplicable, stress-provoked seizures - which prompted Hiram's wife Hermione to order the town to be quarantined.

When the quarantine was lifted, the threats to Riverdale had multiplied.

The Gargoyle King was still claiming victims; the cult-like Farm Alice Cooper had joined was indoctrinating new members left and right, including Kevin Keller; and Hiram and Gladys found themselves vying for control of the town's drug-trade - with Veronica and her speakeasy, and new beau Reggie Mantle, caught in the middle.

When a haunted and hunted Archie returns to Riverdale, he finds his beloved town on the brink of collapse.

Penelope Blossom has opened a brothel. Cheryl Blossom and her girlfriend Toni Topaz have started a gang to challenge the Southside Serpents - the Pretty Poisons.

No one is safe, not even kingpin Hiram Lodge, who is shot by none other than new Sheriff FP Jones. He survives, barely.

And meanwhile, the mysteries surrounding Gryphons and Gargoyles deepen, drawing in all of the characters, including the enigmatic cult-leader Edgar Evernever and his daughter Evelyn.

Resident chanteuse Josie McCoy leaves town just as the endgame begins: with Veronica and Archie (training to be a boxer) teaming-up to take down Hiram Lodge once and for all, even as Betty exposes the Farm's horrific truths and Jughead zeroes in on the Gargoyle King's true identity.

With one deadly round of Gryphons and Gargoyles left to play, will Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead survive the night and make it to Senior Year?

In the Season 4 premiere, "Chapter Fifty-Eight: In Memoriam": As the residence of Riverdale prepare for its upcoming Independence Day parade, Archie receives a phone call that will change the rest of his life forever.

Our Perfect Wedding 8

In the Season 8 premiere, "Nhlanhla and Tshidi": They started out as friends. Tshidi friend-zoned Nhlanhla immediately after their first date.

Little did she know he'd be the man she'd walk down the aisle and marry one day.

It all started way back in 2009, when they met at the movies. Nhlanhla longed to get close to Tshidi, for she had captured his heart and he made sure that they ended up watching the same movie.

After the movie, he asked her for her number, so he could set up another date with her. He called her and asked her out but Tshidi didn't quite warm up to him at first because she wasn't too sure about him.

Naturally, he was slightly discouraged, but Nhlanhla didn't give up. They only began to click the second time they went out on a date.

To win Tshidi over, Nhlanhla had a chat with her best friend, who tipped the scale in Nhlanhla's favour and in 2013 the two started dating.

Nhlanhla popped the big question on their anniversary and being the perfect gentleman, he approached Tshidi's mother first, to ask for her daughter's hand in marriage.

Today, they start their journey as husband and wife.
