After the launch of season 1 last year, A E Networks has recommissioned Pawn Stars South Africa, the local version of the global factual entertainment series Pawn Stars, exclusively for History (DStv channel 186) in South Africa.

Pawn Stars SA is set in the Cash Inn pawn shop in Johannesburg. Owner Roy Peretz, his business partners Eytan Nadler and Liel Rimon and assistants Irene Bower and Solly Mabasa meet customers from all walks of life who want to pawn or sell a range of items. South Africa s rich and diverse culture provides a treasure trove of fascinating artefacts from past to present, from muscle cars to military memorabilia, which flood through the shop doors.

The first season was a success, attracting younger viewers to the channel, increasing ratings for its slot and watched by over 1.6 million adults across all transmissions.

The second season of Pawn Stars SA will introduce a new member of the team, Cecily Pavoncelli, whose mission for this season will be to spend Roy s money on some fine items, bringing in a creative and positive energy to the store. Another new addition to the show, and supporting the team at Cash Inn, will be the University of Pretorias Professor Fransjohan Pretorius, author and an expert on recent South African history.

The second season will feature more South African items with historical backgrounds such as an original bronze casting of Professor Chris Barnards hands, a piece of literary history from Nobel Prize-winning author Nadine Gordimer and original sketches from the proudly South African movie Zambezia.

Pawn Stars South Africa season 2 will air on The History Channel in 2016.
