What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in South Africa in March

The whole ‘Amazon Prime’ membership thing may be confusing to most of us in South Africa (seriously, can we just get Kindle Unlimited – is that a Prime thing? Who knows?) What is not confusing is Amazon Studio’s output of truly excellent Prime Originals. In March, we’re most looking forward to Season 2 of Sneaky Pete and The Dangerous Book for Boys. 

Find out what’s new this month (October 2019)

Sneaky Pete S2 (9 March)

From the creator of Justified and Executive Producer Bryan Cranston, Sneaky Pete follows Marius (Giovanni Ribisi), a con man who is dragged back into the role of Pete Murphy when two thugs — believing he’s Pete — threaten to kill his “family” (headed by Margo Martindale) if he doesn’t find the millions stolen from their dangerous employer.

The Dangerous Book for Boys S1 (30 March)

The best-selling book serves as the inspiration for a heart-warming, family-oriented show. A boy struggling with life after his dad’s death finds lessons in a book the father wrote for him and his brothers. The Prime Original series debuts with a six-episode season.

Look out for our Plum Picks in bold.
