Primedia Studios' Deal or No Deal Celebrity game show is returning to SABC1 for a second season of 52 episodes from Saturday 14 June at 18:00 and will debut with a special season one highlights episode.
Primedia Studios does Deal or No Deal SA, as well as the Deal or No Deal Celebrity version for the South African public broadcaster, with Homebrew Films filming at Atlantic Studios in Cape Town.
Deal or No Deal Celebrity will run for another year and 52 hour-long episodes with a season one highlights episode that will be shown on SABC1 on Saturday 7 June. All episodes are available on the SABC's video streaming service SABC+ after broadcast.
Deal or No Deal Celebrity with Katlego Maboe as host will once again have a crop of South African singers, actors, TV presenters, comedians and sport stars playing with the hope of winning money for charities and other worthy causes.
During the first season run of the show, R2.2 million was paid out to more than 40 charity organisations operating across South Africa.
Contestants can win anything between R1 to R250 000 with the outcome hinging on which briefcases they eliminate.
