This brand new medical drama series set in KZN has been rumoured to rival the likes of Grey's Anatomy. Set to premiere on e.tv in October this year, Durban Gen is produced by the award-winning Stained Glass TV production House. Not many details have been released as yet, there is just a teaser trailer and not even a hint as to who their ‘McDreamy’ might be!

What we do know is that the Stained Glass team seem to have the Midas touch when it comes to creating local content that resonates with its audience. The company also produces Uzalo for SABC 1 and Ifalakhe for Mzansi Magic. Uzalo recently made television history by reaching a record-breaking 10.2 million viewers. This is a production house committed to supporting local talent and portraying real South African stories.
Helga Palmer, head of local production at e.tv said in a press release that, “Following the immense success of our late prime drama Imbewu, Durban Gen could not have come at a better time. Our viewers are eager to continue experiencing authentic stories that represent their everyday realities in a way that resonates with them. There is heightened attention on front line workers, and this soapie is a testament that not every superhero wears a cape.”
Durban Gen will also be available on DStv channel 194 and Openview channel 104.
