This TV biz news just in... Fox Networks Group in Africa and 20th Century Fox have signed a content deal to bring various international series to Africa.
Shows in the ink include The Resident, Ghosted and The Gifted, set in the X-Men universe.
First to premiere will be The Resident in March on the 27th, a powerful new medical show centred around a young doctor’s final years of training.
Dealing with both the good and the bad, audiences can get ready to experience what really happens behind the doors at hospitals.
Starring Matt Czuchry (The Good Wife), Emily VanCamp (Revenge), Shaunette Renée Wilson (Billions), Manish Dayal (Halt and Catch Fire), Melina Kanakaredes (CSI: NY), Bruce Greenwood (The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story), Moran Atias (24: Legacy) and Merrin Dungey (Big Little Lies).
The Resident will premiere on 27th March at 21h00.
The Gifted and Ghosted are set to premiere a week apart.
Ghosted (14th April, 20h25), a single-camera, live-action comedy, tells the story of a partnership between two polar opposites – a cynical skeptic and a genius “true believer” in the paranormal – who are recruited by a secret government agency, known as The Bureau Underground, to save the human race from aliens.
On the 23rd of April The Gifted will premiere at 21h00. Set in the X-Men universe, produced by 20th Century Fox Television in association with Marvel Television, family adventure series The Gifted tells the emotional story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their teenage children possess mutant powers.
Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family seeks help from an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.
In what will become a triple play of animation from 18h00, and joining The Simpsons - the longest running scripted show in television history - is Family Guy and American Dad.
Created and executive-produced by Seth MacFarlane, Family Guy is now in its 17th season and guaranteed to entertain its die-hard fan base with razor-sharp humor, spot-on parodies, spectacular animation and orchestra-backed original music.
And 12 seasons later, American Dad continues focusing on Stan Smith, a CIA agent in Langley Falls, Virginia whose main objective in life is national security. The animation triple-play is stripped daily from 18h00.
