BREAKING. Fox Entertainment grabs Transporter (the series) to start on TopTV on 4 March at 18:15.


You're reading it here first. 

Fox Entertainment (TopTV 180) is bringing South African viewers another exclusive drama series: I can reveal that the drama series Transporter, based on the movies with the same name, will be starting on Fox Entertainment on Monday 4 March at 18:15 (South African time) as an exclusive region premiere.

Transporter follows the adventures of Frank Martin (played by Chris Vance who takes over from Jason Statham who was seen in the movies) - a professional freelance courier driver for hire who will deliver anything (anyone!), anywhere for the right price.

Frank Martin lives by three unbreakable rules (but oh the irony!) which he breaks himself the whole time. The first season of Transporter which was shot last year and shown in some parts of the world already has 12 episodes. Interestingly almost every episode looks a bit different depending on the country in which it is shown.

Transporter was filmed in Paris, Toronto, Berlin and Nice and has a set of sought-after directors (people who worked on Lost for instance).

Hot cars, car chases, storylines involving cars (even Frank Martin's cars as the season continues) is a big theme in Transporter.
