‘Top Billing’ Makes A Glamorous Comeback! SA’s Iconic Lifestyle Show Returns With A Star-Studded Reunion Special

South Africa’s most glamorous TV gem is back! Top Billing — the show that defined sophistication, luxury, and South African excellence — is officially returning to screens with a Reunion Special on Thursday, 27 November at 19:00 on S3, ahead of all-new weekly episodes launching in March 2026.

The news has sent waves of excitement across Mzansi, marking the triumphant revival of a show that became a household name for celebrating style, design, travel, and local achievement.

To mark the big comeback, the Top Billing family reunited this week at a star-studded celebration, where former and current presenters, producers, and special guests raised a glass to the show’s legacy and fresh new chapter.

A Legacy of Glamour, Inspiration, and South African Excellence

The glittering reunion brought together familiar faces, including Ryle De Morny, Jonathan Boynton-Lee, and Fezile Mkhize, alongside former hosts Basetsana Kumalo and Michael Mol.

Also in attendance were Executive Producer Patience Stevens and Cardova COO Bradley van den Berg, who helped shape Top Billing’s enduring legacy.

Reflecting on the show’s remarkable 27-year run, Stevens shared:

“Top Billing came so far from the very first broadcast done in a tiny edit suite at the SABC to filming in the most magnificent houses in the country – and indeed the world – reflecting the best of South African talent in design, architecture, art, fashion, travel, entertainment, and sport.”

She added that Top Billing has inspired generations of South Africans to dream big.

“We often hear top achievers say how watching Top Billing gave them the vision and courage to make their own dreams come true. It’s wonderful to be back, promoting South Africa and South Africans to the world.”

A Fresh Chapter for a Timeless Favourite

Van den Berg emphasised that the show’s return is more than a nostalgic revival — it’s a reinvention for a new era.

“Top Billing’s return is only made possible by the strong interest from advertising partners and brands that see the power of the show’s legacy and its connection to S3,” he said.

He added that the production aims to blend the show’s timeless glamour with fresh digital storytelling, expanding its reach beyond television.
