It’s the month of love and we’re loving all things local. There are so many homegrown movies and series coming to you on M-Net, DStv, and Showmax, that you’ll be spoilt for choice. Take a look at what’s on and what's coming up.

Legacy
The drama and deception continue in Legacy with fan favourites like Dineo, Lexi, and Petra, as well as the characters you love to hate like Msizi and Angelique. There are also new characters to keep the intrigue coming – like Charlie, who recently returned home...or should that be "home"? Watch the moment below.

Watch Legacy Mondays to Thursdays at 19:00 on M-Net channel 101.
Catch up with DStv using any connected device.
Binge watch on Showmax.

The Bachelorette SA
After her journey for love was cut short on the second season of The Bachelor SA, Qiniso van Damme is back on the path to love. In the very first season of The Bachelorette SA, she’ll meet a host of gorgeous and talented young men, get to know them on group dates, and get to know them more intimately during one-on-one dates – all in the hopes of finding the man of her dreams.

Watch The Bachelorette SA season 1 every Thursday at 19:30 on M-Net, starting 11 February.

Lioness
Samantha’s life continues to unravel in 2012 while she continues to pick up the pieces eight years later. We’re already hooked on this new drama starring Shannon Esra. If you’ve missed the first episodes, catch up with DStv.
