SPINNERS Season 2 Debuts in 45 African Countries, Returns to Africa Magic Showcase
The second season of award-winning African drama series SPINNERS has premiered, with CANAL+ and STUDIOCANAL securing its international distribution across more than 45 countries in Africa and Europe.
The eight-part season, which premiered on October 25, is available to Nigerian viewers on Africa Magic Showcase. The series is a co-production of MultiChoice and CANAL+, with STUDIOCANAL handling international distribution.
Season 2 follows Ethan (Cantona James) and his crew, the Underdogs, as they leave Cape Town for Johannesburg in search of new opportunities. Their attempt to establish themselves in the city’s competitive car-spinning scene is complicated by emerging rivalries, new relationships and an ambush connected to Ethan’s former gang.
The series centres on car spinning, a motorsport culture involving controlled spins, drifts and precision driving manoeuvres. Its storyline also explores themes of friendship, ambition, loyalty and the challenges associated with starting over.
The new season introduces the Maseko family, whose arrival brings additional tensions to the story. Luyanda Zwane, known for her role in Sibongile and the Dlaminis, plays Amahle Maseko, while Aphiwe Mkefe portrays her older brother, Sayi, who becomes a rival to Ethan. Siyamthanda Bangani plays Gatsha, Sayi’s close associate.
Returning cast members include Cantona James as Ethan, Braeden Buys as Trevor, Dillon Windvogel as Shane, Nahum Hughes as Angelo and Chelsea Thomas as Amber. The season also features appearances by Siv Ngesi, Kayla Oliphant and Anton Taylor.
According to the distribution arrangement, the series will be available in different language versions across its international markets. African audiences will have access to the original English, Kaaps and Afrikaans versions, while French-speaking viewers in parts of the continent can watch through CANAL+ MAGIC.
Outside Africa, the series will be distributed through CANAL+ channels and its streaming app in France and its overseas territories, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium.
SPINNERS was co-created by Joachim Landau and Benjamin Hoffman, who also serves as showrunner. Jaco Bouwer returns as director, while Matthew Jankes and Sean Steinberg return as head writers.
The series is produced by Joachim Landau for Federation Middle East, Africa and Caribbean, and co-produced by Ramadan Suleman for Natives at Large.
