It’s rightfully said that charity begins at home, but rewards tend to be reaped elsewhere...

it’s been the case for M-Net TV show Recipes for Love and Murder , which performed okay in Mzansi but saw great numbers internationally. “Ratings in South Africa didn’t quite meet expectations, but we found that our international partner in this instance not only saw so much value in the show but had so much success selling it outside of our territories, outside of Africa,” Director for Premium Channels (M-Net and kykNET ) Waldimar Pelser told The Citizen . Recipes for Love and Murder first aired in March 2022 on M-Net and made its international debut in September that year after being picked up by Acorn TV.

“We’re very proud of Recipes for Love and Murder , it was an excellent series and we’re proud and happy that it’s coming back for a second season.” “It’s just that all the partners need to see a certain value, and we do. But in this case, internationally the success was on another level,” averred Pelser.

Pelser spoke to the publication at a media breakfast hosted by MultiChoice Group General Entertainment CEO Noma Philiso. The breakfast was centred around storytellers, and featured creators in television.
