Kuiertyd Premium launched earlier in the year with a repeat of eVOD's telenovela Impak and at the time it was believed that the slot will only be dedicated to content from the streaming services kind of like e.tv's 8pm slot on Sunday but that will likely not be the case in the near future.
Apparently, eExtra acquired rights to never before seen psychological thriller Kruispad (Babil) produced by Kerem Catay who also worked on a lot of projects for the channel including Fenix, Fatmagul, Kurt En Shura, Bittersoet and Die Put.
Kruispad explores the life of Irfan, an idealistic professor who is upset by his unfair dismissal and is trying to care for his sick son. As the doors close one by one, Irfan finds himself in the middle of a dark adventure that he can't escape.
Halit Ergenç takes on the lead role of İrfan Tuna Saygun while Onur Saylak/Ozan Güven stars as Egemen Kıvılcım, Aslı Enver as Ayşe Karaali/Nihal, Birce Akalay as İlay Yücedağ, Nur Fettahoğlu as Eda Saygun, Mesut Akusta as Süleyman Yavuncu and Beren Kasımoğulları as Deniz Saygun.
The series is said to replace Impak every Sunday at 19:30 on eExtra with repeats available on eVOD from 3rd July.
The launch date concides with Kuiertyd's pay-tv rival kykNET & Kie which will also be rolling out Turkish dramas to DStv consumers due to popular demand and also as a way to fill the void now that viewers have to rely on e.tv and now kykNET for Turkish series.
