On nature, the station will air a series that reveals nature’s apex predators using polycarbonate and aluminium ‘pod’, where the predator team come face to face with lions, hyenas, polar bears and sharks – close enough to carry out a range of original scientific experiments, and to feel the true power (and terror) of the natural world’s most effective killing machines.
On medicine, DStv through the channel will feature a show dubbed My Extreme Excess Skin which follows two people who have lost massive amounts of weight and are about to undergo a full body transformation through skin removal surgery.
In crime, the channel will follow one of America’s most popular weekly magazine, People, that seeks to uncover the truth behind some of the country’s most infamous characters and iconic stories of crime.
