When will South Africa be able to purchase TV series?

When the producers of the various TV series decide to make them available in S.A. and on iTunes.

Brad,

Apple generally does not announce such things in advance, and we as fellow users have no way to know. Apple operates 100+ country-specific iTunes Stores, and unfortunately each has its own unique set of commercial and legal restrictions.

You can provide suggestions directly to Apple at:

You should also check out alternative download retailers that may available in SA.

Apple has nothing to do with Media availability in country specific stores.

The rights holders, i.e the media companies that own the shows and movies, are the ones that choose when and how to release their media to the store. There are many legal, copyright, and distribution matters they need to work through to release media in certain countries and such the iTunes stores of said countries.

Apple has nothing to do with that, as they just provide the platform, but have no bearing on when or in what manner they make the media available.
