Hot On DStv: Some M-Net Shows To Take A Break This Festive Season

Everyone deserves a holiday, and during the upcoming festive season some of your favourite television characters – especially those who appear in series which are broadcast close to the US – will take a bit of a break. 

M-Net is renowned for bringing viewers the best in premium entertainment and has upped the ante with the speedy Express from the US service which enables viewers to enjoy some Hollywood series as they hit the screens in the States. 

When these productions close down for the holidays, they therefore also removed from the schedules for a while. 

While there are some exceptions to the rule, The US production breaks usually vary between one and three weeks and when these series’ return to television next year DStv viewers will once again be able to watch a brand new episode each week. 

Below is a list of series that will be taking a break over the festive season:
