Series to love on DStv Family in April 2022

While April is filled to the brim with your favourite reality and lifestyle series on DStv Family, we’ve also singled out some fantastic drama, comedy and telenovelas coming your way this month.

Dr. Bash is back in heartfelt medical drama series Transplant Season 2, and this time he’s getting heart palpitations… thanks to a woman from his past! Insecure Season 5 brings us a reunion, a time jump, and the best friends we never had in the series’ final season. And speaking of goodbyes, it’s time for Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8, too.

If you hate goodbyes, you’ll love the start of 3 brand-new telenovelas on DStv Family. A New Life Season 1 has intrigue and action as a young widow becomes suspicious of her family’s new lodger… an undercover agent. In Anupamaa Season 1, Rupali Ganguly will have you cheering her on playing a downtrodden wife who turns the tables, and romance comes swooping in for an independent heroine in Simply Maria Season 1.

There are also 2 new Hindi language movies on the way to help you to have a joyful and funny April with DStv Family.
