M-Net has nabbed the broadcasting rights for the new upcoming spy drama The Americans which the pay-TV broadcaster originally scheduled to start on 24 January, but the first season of which will now be starting on 7 February at 21:30.
Last month when the starting date of The Americans with Keri Russell was shifted later in America, I told M-Net and asked what would be happening and whether The Americans would therefore be starting in South Africa before it's shown in the United States (which never happens). M-Net got back to me to say the show will be moved on to February and a new starting date.
ALSO READ: The Americans, a new spy drama that will be set in the 80s and show remarkable similarities to another old and familiar TV show.
Besides The Americans, February sees the return of Grey's Anatomy to M-Net for the 9th season on 11 February at 19:30 and the second season of Touch on 18 February at 21:30 (with the additional episode filmed during the first season which wasn't shown here).
M-Net also has Great Escape starting on 8 February at 19:30, Modern Family's 5th season starting on 13 February at 19:30, the second season of Two Broke Girls starting on 13 February at 20:00 and the 4th season of NCIS: Los Angeles starting on 2 February at 20:30.
