Cuddle up with the 1 you love! It’s TV-for-2 time on DStv this Valentine’s Day
Well, hello, TV lovers! Are you ready to celebrate the most romantic day of the year? We have so many ways to help you to snuggle up close and experience all the emotions together. And whatever you get excited over, you’ll find a show to talk about.
Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 turns flirtation up to the max when it reunites Meredith and Dr. Nick Marsh (Scott Speedman) for the season premiere on Monday, 14 February, but brace yourselves for Teddy and Owen’s casual wedding day that slips between tragedy and comedy. Never mind, they’ll get a second shot at it, which will warm Grey’s fans’ hearts. Wedding attempt number 1 does have a silver lining, though, it brings in the cast of Station 19 for a special crossover episode. Also making the Station 19 Season 5 premiere spicy, we get a peek inside the uproar at Carina and Maya’s otherwise sweet and joyful wedding. Lots for you and your Valentine to talk about.
We have new crime shows if there’s nothing you like more than a cold glass of wine and a cold case. If you prefer to be cosy at home, we have home makeover series that you can use to spark a conversation about what your dream homes would look like, including the always emotional Extreme Makeover Home Edition Season 10.
We have 2 brand-new local romantic movies, No Love Lost and Welcome To The Family on Showmax, along with the star-studded classic romantic comedy Valentine’s Day on M-Net Movies 1 (DStv Channel 104), you can even get spicy with the brand-new Sex In Afrikaans Season 1.
Disney Junior (DStv Channel 309) and Boomerang (DStv Channel 302) will be hosting special Valentine’s content for the little ones, maybe you’ll be able to get a little kiss and cuddle time in the corners while they’re distracted.
This year Valentine’s Day is on a Monday, so many of us will be nudging the goalposts just the tiniest bit and cracking out the hearts and flowers on Sunday, 13 February (and some of us early birds, even pushing back to Saturday, 12 February). Scroll down to our Lucky 13th section and you’ll see some amazing shows and movies that you and your special person can enjoy together and talk about, including Local movie Late Bloomer, Celebrity Game Night Season 3, The Green Planet and Released To Kill.
