IT'S DREADFUL. Netflix regrets to inform that Count Olaf is back in the terribly terrific second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Please don't read further, dear reader, so as to be spared horrible news that might last in your memory for a lifetime, but if you do continue, please be informed that Netflix regrets to announce that Count Olaf has not gone away but is back for a second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events - that sadly has already also been renewed for a third, sure to be dreadful, season.

The 10 terrifying episodes of the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events, has just become available on Netflix South Africa and around the world, and adapted books 5 through 9 of the novel series: The Austere Academy, The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital and The Carnivorous Carnival.

Sadly Netflix says viewers who persist in watching this sorry display of poor orphan children looking for their parents and being preyed upon by their evil uncle Count Olaf who wants their inheritance, will be subjected to a shack full of crabs, a tyrannical vice principal (aren't they all?), murder, kidnapping, high fashion, unnecessary surgery, ravenous lions, and a great deal of herring.

Netflix made a trailer available, but says "sadly, the trailer is only the beginning" and provides "our sincerest apologies" for what it calls "the worst season".

In the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events, the poor rich Baudelaire children are introduced to life at Prufrock Preparatory School, an unpleasant institution, where before long, Count Olaf shows up in a thinly-disguised disguise as the school's new gym teacher.

Neil Patrick Harris is once again back as Count Olaf, with Malina Weissman as Violet Baudelaire, the eldest child and a gifted inventor, Louis Hynes as the middle Baudelaire child interested in literature and books, and Presley Smith as that small little thing, Sunny Baudelaire, the youngest Baudelaire who's already seen so much sadness and suffering in life, and who excels at biting with her unnaturally strong teeth.

M-Net's The Wedding Bashers replaces two presenters with Zola Nene and Bernelee Daniell, adds 4 specials from April before the 2nd season starts in June.

The Wedding Bashers on M-Net (DStv 101) that is returning for a second season in June is replacing Cindy Nell-Roberts and Siba Mtongana with the former Miss South Africa Bernelee Daniell and celebrity chef Zola Nene.

The second season of The Wedding Bashers for which people can enter now, will start on 3 June on M-Net at 17:00 covering more diverse and eclectic South African weddings, but before that the show produced by [SIC] Entertainment will be doing 4 special episodes from Sunday 29 April.

The Wedding Bashers Specials ... With Love will start on 29 April at 18:00 in which the presenters do all of the wedding planning themselves for 4 couples about to get married and who hand over the reigns to the presenters for their big day.

While wedding planner Zavion Kotze and socialite Denise Zimba are back for the second season, Bernelee Daniell and Zola Nene are replacing Cindy Nell-Roberts and Siba Mtongana.

BREAKING. The Wedding Bashers on M-Net renewed for a second season, looking for wedding contestants for the new season.

M-Net (DStv 101) has renewed the adorably diverse wedding competition complete with hilarious schadenfreude commentary, The Wedding Bashers, for a second season with South Africans planning to get married in 2018 in a Batsuit, among fairies in the woods, or planning a day long cow slaughter to celebrate, who can now enter.

It's not yet clear which of the four delightful wedding commentators will be back, although socialite Denise Zimba, Food Network's Siba Mtongana, the former Miss South Africa Cindy Nell-Roberts, and the former Survivor SA Champions star and wedding planner Zavion Kotze are all likely to return after working well during the first eye-popping season in 2017.

In The Wedding Bashers, the wedding crasher foursome show up at jaw-dropping weddings across South Africa and judge various aspects. Weddings are not necessarily expensive but are definitely out of the ordinary, showcasing the flair and creativity - with mixed results - of South Africans tying the knot.

Produced by [sic] Entertainment and executive produced by Gavin Wratten, the first season of The Wedding Bashers that was a ratings and social media success for M-Net, had viewers in stitches over the wide array of eclectic and interesting South African weddings that were featured in the show.

People interested in having The Wedding Bashers come to their wedding celebration with the chance of winning prizes can now enter here for the possibility of appearing in the second season.
