Top Billing Returns To South African Screens With A Star-Studded Reunion

South Africa’s most glamorous lifestyle show is officially back. Top Billing, the iconic series that defined aspirational TV for over two decades, is making a dazzling return to SABC screens with a Reunion Special airing on 27 November 2025, followed by brand-new episodes in March 2026.

A National Favourite Makes Its Comeback

For many South Africans, Top Billing wasn’t just television it was a glimpse into the good life. From dream homes and destination weddings to designer interviews and local achievers, the show embodied elegance and optimism.

Now, after years off-air, the show that famously asked “What’s your dream?” is set to inspire a new generation. A reunion celebration was held this week, where past and present presenters gathered to toast the show’s enduring legacy.

Among the familiar faces were Ryle De Morny, Jonathan Boynton-Lee, and Fezile Mkhize, joined by original icons Basetsana Kumalo and Dr Michael Mol. Executive Producer Patience Stevens and Cardova COO Bradley van den Berg reflected on the show’s history and its future.

A Celebration Of South African Excellence

“Top Billing came so far from that very first broadcast done in a tiny SABC edit suite to filming in the most magnificent homes in the country and indeed the world,*” Stevens recalled. “It reflected the best of South African talent in design, architecture, art, fashion, travel, and sport.”

For Stevens, the show’s real success lies in how it inspired people. “We often hear top achievers say how watching Top Billing gave them the courage to pursue their dreams. It’s wonderful to be back, promoting South Africa and South Africans to the world.”

A Modern Revival For A New Era

While the relaunch honours Top Billing’s signature sophistication, it’s also being reimagined for a digital-first world. Van den Berg confirmed that the return was made possible through strong support from advertisers and audiences who still see value in the Top Billing brand.

“We’re bringing the show back not only on TV but digitally too,” he said. “Expect to see more content on social media and streaming platforms as we connect with audiences wherever they are.”
