Young adult youth series, Underemployed and The Inbetweeners, both coming to MTV from the end of January.


Viacom International Media Networks Africa (VIMNA) has secured the rights for Africa and South Africa of both the youth series The Inbetweeners (the American version) and Underemployed (above).

The Inbetweeners will start on MTV (DStv 130) on Monday 28 January at 22:10 and Underemployed will start on MTV on Wednesday 30 January at at 21:20.

The Inbetweeners has been cancelled in America due to low viewership and Underemployed which started in October is currently in its first season.

The Inbetweeners was an American remake of the British series following four guys plotting a course through the akward and humiliating teenage years into young adulthood.

Underemployed follows the angst of a group of young adults - five friends who have high expectations for their professional and personal lives, and realize with a shock that after college graduation life may not be immediately what they thought it was going to be.

Sex, romance, pregnancy, financial worries, brushes with the law, sexting and career challenges are all a part of the unforeseen hurdles the five friends have to face.
