M-Net channel 101 will be welcoming viewers
into the new year with an exciting slate of brand new and returning seasons of
their favourite series: The doctors of Grey-Sloan, the ever-evolving Pearsons
and the yet to be solved mystery of Manifest are sure to chase those January
blues away.
Shonda Rhimes’ acclaimed series Grey’s Anatomy returns for another
season of medical drama on M-Net channel 101, with two back-to-back episodes
from January 14 at 19h00. Now in its 15th season, Grey’s Anatomy continues to follow Meredith Grey and the team of
doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial who are faced with life-or-death decisions on a
daily basis. These docs spend most of their lives at the hospital and have over
the years formed an amazing familial bond. They seek comfort from one another,
and at times, more than just friendship.

Anatomy”: Dr Tom Koracick & Dr Meredith Grey)
Rewind back to the end of season 14, where
Jo and Alex’s big day was anything but smooth sailing, though fans of the show
will know that there hasn’t been a single wedding on Grey’s that went off
without a few hiccups. Also marking the end of an era was the sad farewell of
some favourite characters: bubbly Arizona Robbins (played by Jessica Capshaw)
and beloved April Kepner (Sarah Drew) bid farewell to their family of on-screen
doctors in the season finale.
In the season 15 double episode premiere, a
distracted Meredith struggles to stay focused at work, as new doctors continue
to shake up the hospital in typical Grey Sloan manner, and the surgeons all vie
for a coveted new position at the hospital.
The grounded, life-affirming, Golden
Globe-winning dramedy This is Us
returns for its third season on M-Net 101 from January 14 at 21h00. This
beautiful drama has a knack for revealing how the tiniest events in the lives
of the Pearson family can have an impact on who they’ve become as adults. In
true This is Us style, it also
carefully unpacks the connections they’ve shared with one another and explores
how those bonds have transcended over time, distance and even death. In the
season two finale, Toby and Kate exchanged vows, surrounded by love and joy
from their respective families – though getting to the altar proved to be quite
the mission for both of them. And just when Randall and Beth thought things
were going to get better with their foster daughter Déjà, the struggling teen
had a breakdown following the departure of her biological mother.
In the season 3 premiere, big changes are
afoot for Kate, Kevin and Randall as they celebrate their 38th birthday.
(“Manifest”)

Grace also confronted Ben about their relationship, admitting that things
