BREAKING. Arrow coming to M-Net as the pay broadcaster grabs the new TV season's hottest show to start in South Africa on 19 October.


You're reading it here first. 

Excellent for M-Net - I can exclusively break the news that M-Net has grabbed the first of the two hottest and most anticipated new TV series of the new upcoming TV season: M-Net got Arrow which will start on M-Net in HD on Friday 19 October at 20:30.

No word on the other most buzzed about new TV show (Elementary), but getting Arrow from Warner Bros. International Television Distribution is HUGE for M-Net.

Arrow, with Stephen Amell in the lead role, tells the tale of the comic book hero Green Arrow, the superhero who defends Emerald City.

What's more is that episodes of Arrow will be unspooling for South African viewers only 9 days after America.

It's not all. I can exclusively reveal that M-Net has also acquired the new TV shows Partners (set to start on Friday 5 October at 18:00), the second season of Homeland which will start on Wednesday 10 October at 21:30 (now in an corrected appropriate timeslot), the new sitcom The New Normal (starting Friday 26 October at 19:00) and the second season of Strike Back (starting on Friday 26 October at 21:30).

BBC Entertainment grabbed Downton Abbey (Sundays) as the very best TV drama South African viewers will get to see all year, but M-Net is coming through just after halftime and majorly upping its premium watchworthy quotient for the remainder of the year.
