M-Net has grabbed the broadcasting rights to the quality historical drama series Vikings which History (DStv 186) showed in the United States but didn't show to South African viewers, with the new series which will complement the South African pay-TV broadcaster's programming line-up which already has the similar Game of Thrones.
M-Net also has Almost Human, the futuristic, high-brow and quality new drama series with big-budget special effects with a Blade Runner-esque theme, in which a troubled policeman in the future in teamed up with a new android partner, solving cases as well as slowly trying to solve a crime mystery from his past.
Both Vikings and Almost Human are quality drama productions and are expected to be on the M-Net channel (DStv 101) very soon.
Vikings has nine hour long episodes and it second season will start soon overseas, with South African viewers who will finally get the chance to start watching it soon on M-Net very soon.
Vikings was filmed in Northern Ireland and other locations in Northern Europe similar to where the first seasons of the fantasy shows Camelot and Game of Thrones were filmed.
The well-done fictitious historical family drama chronicles the exploits of historical figure Ragnar Lothbrok and his band of Viking brothers as Lothbrok rises to become king of the Viking tribes.
