Unlike the previous two seasons South African viewers are not seeing episodes of the current latest third season of Falling Skies close to the American broadcasting date which is produced by DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg and starring Noah Wyle.
That is because the deal between Fox International Channels Africa (FIC Africa) and MultiChoice to also add the FOX channel to DStv means that FIC Africa is first reshowing and rebroadcasting the episodes from both the first and the second season of Falling Skies on FOX to help DStv subscribers catch up.
The one benefit is that episodes of Falling Skies are seen in South Africa for the first time in high definition (HD). The third season of Falling Skies will only start showing on FOX on DStv and TopTV in September.
The fourth season of Falling Skies will also have 10 episodes.
