What better way to spend the beginning of a new month than cuddled up on the couch watching the latest blockbuster entertainment? This June, we’re shining the spotlight on some of our favourite shows and movies to make the middle of the year a whole lot more bearable. So, whether you are looking to catch up on your favourite shows or discover something new, exciting and slightly dramatic, we’ve got the list for you.
Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living
What do you do when your life hits rock bottom and you need to find a way to support your family? Well, if you ask Jeremy, you move to Georgia to ‘help’ your grandfather. Season two deals with Jeremy’s arrest and how the family comes together to free him. Of course, there’s the guaranteed confusion, drama and a whole lot of comedy that you’ve come to expect from Tyler Perry’s creations. Season two starts on Friday, 4 June at 20:30 CAT on BET, DStv Channel 129.
Love Swap
In case the name didn’t give it away, this shows features the classic partner switcheroo that seeks to put relationships to the test. To turn up the heat, two couples who don’t know one another from a bar of soap need to switch partners, cook up a storm and rediscover not only themselves but what exactly makes them work as a couple. At the end of the day, the couples regroup and share their experiences – and hopefully learn something from the whole ordeal. Follow the drama every Tuesday at 20:30 CAT on HONEY, DStv Channel 173.
Nigerian Idol…
…is back and bigger than ever! In case you missed it, some of Nigeria’s best talent are battling it out for the title of Nigerian Idol 2021. The search has been narrowed down for the season six winner and it’s time to vote for your favourite and play your part in making history.
