Showmax is giving! New 2-for-1 deal launches
This deal is valid until 31 March 2023. See the Ts & Cs here.
1 February 2023: Showmax has announced a new 2-for-1 deal for loyal customers and new streamers curious to get access to the biggest and best selection of first and exclusive local drama and reality, as well the newest and most talked about international programming. From 1 February 2023, subscribers who pay for one month of Showmax will receive a second month at no extra cost. This deal applies to Showmax and Showmax Mobile plans and is available to new and returning Showmax subscribers.
This deal comes as Showmax releases new seasons of some of its most popular Original series, including Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Durban, the luxury reality series following some of eThekwini’s biggest socialites, and Season 2 of the thriller DAM, the most nominated drama at last year’s SAFTAs (South African Film and Television Awards), where it won two Golden Horns.
To beat loadshedding, a convenient Showmax feature makes it possible for viewers to download episodes to mobile devices to watch offline, including the smash-hit telenovela The Wife, or entire movies, like Top Gun: Maverick, which has just been nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture.
“We are making Showmax so people really can watch anytime, anywhere, at a great price. Plus, on Showmax, 1GB can last up to 10 hours on our lowest data setting,” says Yolisa Phahle, CEO of MultiChoice Connected Video. “This deal is our way of making world-class entertainment even more affordable and even more accessible for streaming fans.”
Showmax's stellar summer line-up includes the biggest series in the world right now, HBO's The Last of Us, express from the US, as well as the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon and The White Lotus: Sicily, named Best TV Series: Drama and Best Limited Series respectively at the 2023 Golden Globes. Kids can enjoy new seasons of favourites like Paw Patrol and Blaze and the Monster Machines.
The Showmax 2-for-1 deal is available at www.showmax.com.
The deal runs from 1 February to 31 March 2023 and excludes Showmax Pro and Showmax Pro Mobile. It is available in all African markets.
