How to watch Lockdown season 5 online
The next season of your favourite prison drama is coming exclusively to Showmax
SA has been hooked on Lockdown for the past four seasons. The big news now is that Lockdown season 5 is streaming exclusively on Showmax from January 30.
As season 5 picks up, Deborah is under pressure from the department of correctional services, after one death too many at the prison. Arch-rivals Mazet and Tyson are still running the prison yard together, for now. And Monde is trying to make things right with Vicky (Lauren Jenae) while worrying about her sister Katlego (Natasha Thahane), who’s been transferred to Kgotsong Asylum.
Sophie Lichaba joins the cast this season as the head nurse at Kgotsong. We can’t wait to see where her character goes.
Learn how to watch Lockdown online, with the help of Deborah, Thabazimbi’s evil prison governor.
You can also watch the first four episodes of Lockdown season 1 on YouTube.
