Everything to stream on DStv online in May 2021

Keep things cosy with new seasons of familiar favourites, including In The Dark, The Connors, Unicorn, Godfather of Harlem and Dloz'lami.

Subscribers with DStv Premium get new seasons of In The Dark, The Conners and Unicorn, with top-notch movies including Birds of Prey this month, while those with DStv Compact Plus and Compact get juicy new episodes of Dloz’lami and Godfather of Harlem, plus a bunch of brand-new seasons of superhero shows, from The Flash to Supergirl.

Did you know that DStv customers are able to watch DStv online and on their phones, regardless of the DStv package they’re on? Live stream DStv shows and movies while on the go – on the same channels you watch at home – and catch up on missed episodes and movies after they’ve aired.

In this article, we share what to expect in the month of April when you stream DStv online at now.dstv.com.

Premium, Compact Plus, Compact, Family and Access each have their own section.
