Ellen, the weekday talk show of Ellen Degeneres, seen in South Africa on M-Net Series (DStv 114) has been renewed for a further two seasons in America which will take the show from 2014 to at least the 2016/2017 season.
Ellen is currently in its 10th season and will soon be mimicking Oprah by going to Australia with fans.
"Ellen is quite simply the best," says Ken Werner, the president of Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution in a press statement announcing the further Ellen seasons. "Day in and day out she and her team produce a unique and compelling hour of entertainment which is appointment television for legions of women."
''Ellen is having its best season ever during the 10th anniversary of the show," says Hilary Estey McLoughlin, the president of Telepictures Productions in the same statement.
"It's a testament to Ellen's brilliance as a talent and our extraordinary production team. We are so proud of the show and grateful for all the support."
