History's cracking mini-series Hatfields & McCoys coming to South Africa from 12 January at 20:30 on M-Net Movies Drama & Romance.


The hugely popular mini-series Hatfields & McCoys which lured record TV audiences in May to the History channel in America is coming to South Africa but won't be seen on History (DStv 186) here - the South African pay-TV broadcaster M-Net grabbed the three part show which will start on M-Net Drama & Romance (DStv 107) on 12 January at 20:30.

Hatfields & McCoys will be shown in South Africa, as it was in America, in three 2 hour episodes on M-Net Drama & Romance. It stars Kevin Costner as William Hatfield and Bill Paxton as Randolph McCoy and follows the intrigued multi generational, extended family feud between the two families and their legendary saga from just after the American Civil War.

Hatfields & McCoys received a whopping 16 Emmy nominations winning several, one of which for Kevin Costner. The mini-series was History's first scripted TV programming ever.
