The debut episode had South Africa talking - shot in Kynsna, the reality series also features local Gqeberha model S’bu Nqini.
Based on the Banijay-owned hit reality format, Temptation Island South Africa is now streaming on Showmax, and it’s already clear that the four couples are in for the ultimate relationship test.
Estelle Langa and Justin Fritz, Musa Qubinkomo and Sifiso Ndlazi, Nthabiseng Maphago and MJ Maponya, and Precious Khumalo and Grant Manuel may have all arrived in paradise (aka Knysna) together, but, now that they’re in separate villas, living with sexy singles, will they leave with each other, or with someone else?
The first episode’s big talking point was the introductions from the 20 single men and women who are looking for love. It was immediately clear that Showmax has lined up a temptation for every taste.
Produced by Afrikaans Film & Television (Survivor SA) and hosted by Phat Joe, Temptation Island South Africa is the first international reality TV series format Showmax has licensed. Distributed by Banijay Rights, the global distribution arm of Banijay, Temptation Island is a Teen Choice-nominated pop culture phenomenon, which has been adapted 25 times and counting.
New episodes of the Showmax Original Temptation Island South Africa drop at midnight every Wednesday until 3 November 2021.
