We’re just a few days into the new month, and already our TV Guide is buzzing with new shows and renewed seasons.
Since we have a packed line-up of fresh shows on our screens this month, we decided why not share the list with you. Below is a list of shows to look out for this month, from Being Bonang to new Season of Game of Thrones.
Here is the list:
iNumber Number
Debuts on: 09 July
Channel: Mzansi Magic
Mzansi Magic and Showmax have joined forces to co-produce a new original series based on the award-winning South African crime and corruption drama, iNumber Number.

iNumber Number takes street warfare, law and order, justice and retribution to a new level in the local television space. The series builds on the original movie’s tense high stakes action and suspense, ensuring that viewers are kept on the edge of their seats every episode.
Just like the film, the heartbeat of iNumber Number remains the relationship between Chilli and Shoes, whose brotherhood bond comes under a dangerous threat.
