Stark Studios in Randburg - scene of the production.
It's been 17 years since Binnelanders first premiered on both kykNET and M-Net for a 52-episode first season.
Since then it's gone through two notable surgeries, changing its name to Binneland Sub Judice
in 2010 and then Binneland
the year after before reverting back to Binnelanders in 2014.
It's been on TV for a total of 18 seasons so far and the new season premiered this Monday, 5 June.
