Spinners Season 2 goes global, rolling out across more than 45 countries

South African series Spinners is set to return for its highly anticipated second season, with a global rollout planned across more than 45 countries beginning at the end of October. The show, which has garnered critical acclaim, will be available in five language editions, including the original English/Kaaps/Afrikaans version, French, Swahili, and Amharic dubs, alongside Portuguese subtitles.

Season 2 follows the story of Ethan, portrayed by Cantona James, and his crew as they transition from the Cape Flats to Johannesburg, where they become prominent figures in the city's spinning scene. However, their newfound fame, love, and stability face a significant threat from a brutal ambush orchestrated by Ethan's former gang.

The eight-part series delves into the themes of power, the cycle of violence, and the impact of grief. The series will air in its original form across several African markets, including South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and Zambia, with Swahili-dubbed episodes available in Kenya and Tanzania, and an Amharic dub reaching Ethiopian audiences.

In French-speaking Africa, the series will be broadcast in French on CANAL+MAGIC starting October 26.
