JOHANNESBURG, MAY 2024 – Get ready for double the fun this winter as Disney Channel (DStv Channel 303) welcomes the return of two popular short-form series Klik Klub and Wandi & Kabz, both for a second season. Klik Klub premieres on Friday, 24 May at 16:50 CAT while Wandi & Kabz joins the party on Friday, 21 June at 16:55 CAT.
The Klik Klub is a cool after-school club where a group of kids of different ages hang out and send invitation letters to their favourite influencers. They wait in anticipation to see which surprise celebrity guest will knock on their door, carrying a mystery box filled with ingredients representing their childhood food memory. Thereafter, the group splits into two teams to cook up a storm with the mystery box contents and compete in a taste challenge.
The season one cast Bokamoso Khalushi (15); Diante Lee-Kye Bastew (10); Kimberley Orielle Strange (11) and Cebelihle Khanyisa Mbambo (14) are joined by two new members this season – Asha Grace Palesa Vorster (12) and Caiden Hunter Distiller (12).
The crew is ready to take on a new season of culinary challenges as they welcome new surprise celebrity guests: Dancer and TikTok sensation Justin De Nobrega, Miss Universe South Africa 2023 and Miss Supranational South Africa 2024 Bryoni Govender, dancer and content creator Summer Heynes, actress and host Candice Modiselle and Mi Casa trumpeter Mo-T. With laughter, friendly competition, and a healthy dose of laughs, Klik Klub is the perfect after-school hangout session.
Klik Klub is produced by That Food Guy Group for The Walt Disney Company Africa and premieres on Disney Channel (DStv channel 303) from Friday, 24 May at 16:50 (CAT).
Wandi & Kabz,a live-action meets animation comedy series, is anchored by Ogadinma Ngobili (14) as Wandi and Marang Neo (10) as Kabz.
