ICYMI: Canal+'s Spinners Will Rebroadcast On Mzansi Magic And e.tv Channels Ahead Of Season 2

Spinners follows Ethan, a 17-year-old driver working for a local gang. Needing to support his younger brother but increasingly disgusted with gang life, Ethan discovers a possible way out via spinning, an extreme motorsport where he can put his driving skills to better use. With a gang war looming, can he turn his life around fast enough? 

The eight-part drama series will rebroadcast across Sub-Saharan Africa on Mzansi Magic on 30 August 2026, and will make its free-to-air debut on e.tv on 4 September 2026.

Spinners’ cast includes Arendsvlei’s Cantona James and Chelsea Thomas in leading roles, along with Dillon Windvogel (Blood & Water) and Elton Landrew (Recipes for Love & Murder). It also stars South African Film and Television Award (SAFTA) winners Brendon Daniels (Zulu, Skemerdans, Five Fingers for Marseille) and Dann Jaques Mouton (Arendsvlei, Noem My Skollie), not to mention SAFTA nominee David Isaacs (co-creator of Joe Barber) and Katlego Lebogang (Wounds).

Spinners is co-created by producer Joachim Landau and showrunner Benjamin Hoffman of Empreinte Digitale. The 16LVPD-rated English/Kaaps/Afrikaans series is co-produced by Locarno, Amiens and FESPACO winner Ramadan Suleman (Zulu Love Letter, Fools) from Natives at Large, Spinners’ local co-production company. 

The development of “Spinners” underscores Canal+’s ambition to enhance its portfolio of original series in Africa. It's production slate includes first major South African film production The Road Home, Heist of Benin and screen adaptation of bestselling novel Americanah.

Not long ago, Canal+ has confirmed its full-year and medium-term guidance after reporting higher first-half revenue, largely reflecting the consolidation of MultiChoice. The group's revenue rose 40% to €4.29 billion in the six months to June 30, 2026.
