As some of you already know eExtra was set to introduce the Afrikaans dubbed Turkish series Vierspel Vuurspel (Içerde) on 6 April at 20:55 during Walker Texas Ranger instead viewers got reruns of another Afrikaans dubbed Turkish series Die Vreemdeling a series that ended on e.tv back in December.
e.tv remained silent on the fate on the fate of the series but according to one of the crew members, the reason for the sudden removal had to do with the lockdown that is currently implemented in South Africa due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The crew had to shutdown work on the series temporarily as they wouldn't be able to keep up with the broadcast of the show in Afrikaans.
With that in mind the crew are still looking into airing the show later in the year probably after Die Vreemdeling or move to e.tv during Bittersoet and depending on the Impact of Covid-19.
If you think eExtra is the only one think again other channels affected by Covid-19 include Zee World, Glow and Star Life since India is also on lockdown along with several channels currently seen on DStv, OpenView and StarSat.
eExtra is available on OpenView channel 105, DStv channel 195 and StarSat channel 489.
