I broke the news at the beginning of the month RIGHT HERE that the SABC1 reality show Class Act will be back for a second season in April and it was just confirmed by the broadcaster, that will be adding female contestants as well to have a male and female ''action star'' winner. What they're not telling yet, but that I will is that field presenters will also be added.
The Curious Pictures production that is a beer sponsored advertiser funded show (AFP) for SABC1 is trying to up the female viewership in this male skewing show this year by allowing women to enter as well and having one man as well as one woman as winner. The second season of Class Act will start on 23 April on SABC1 and from 30 May add another weekly half hour elimination episode that will be broadcast live at 19:00. Kenneth Nkosi will once again be the main presenter.
''In re-envisioning Class Act for the second season we had a simple mandate: more entertainment, more eyes on the screen,'' says Donovan Marsh, show creator about Class Act deciding to add women as contestants to the show.
Main auditions will take place in Cape Town (5 March, Artscape Theatre), Durban (12 March, Playhouse Theatre), Pretoria (19 March, State Theatre) and Johannesburg (2 and 3 April, Shine Studios at the corner of Smit and Henri Streets in Braamfontein.)
