Top Billing has announced its presenter line-up for its highly anticipated 2026 comeback season, blending beloved familiar faces with a few fresh faces. 

 

The lifestyle programme returns to screens in exactly a week promising the glossy homes, inspiring personalities and aspirational storytelling that made it a household name. 

 

“This season is about honouring the legacy that audiences know and love, while evolving the show to reflect the energy, diversity and ambition of modern South Africa,” said Bradley van den Berg, Chief Operating Officer at Cardova Productions and Executive Producer of Top Billing. 

 

Leading the charge are returning favourites Dr Michael Mol, Basetsana Kumalo, Jonathan Boynton-Lee, Dr Fez Mkhize and Ryle De Morny. Their combined experience is expected to bring nostalgia to the revived series. 

 

Joining them are new additions including former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi, Miss South Africa 2023 runner-up Bryoni Govender, actor Arno Greeff and digital host Sine Mpulu, who will steer the show’s social media presence and behind-the-scenes content. 

 

Marketing Manager for SABC Video Entertainment, Dichaba Phalatse, noted that the selection process was thorough, saying the final line-up reflects “a progressive, curious South Africa”. 

 

The show premieres on Thursday, 30 April 2026 at 19:00 on S3. 

 

“We are incredibly excited to bring Top Billing back with this dynamic mix of returning favourites and fresh new talent. Together, they will continue Top Billing’s proud legacy of celebrating the very best of our country while delivering the aspirational, feel-good content viewers have missed and new audiences are eager to discover,” said Patience Stevens, Managing Director at Cardova Productions and Executive Producer of Top Billing.
