Kuiertyd Premium launched last year in an attempt to boost primetime on eExtra with shows like Impak and Kruispad. Just like the Afrikaans movie block, it appears as if Kuiertyd Premium has silently been scrapped as the timeslot is being allocated for the 21:30 series, Die Put.
If I had to guess the reason for the changes, it probably has something to do with the viewership, I'm not saying these two mentioned shows performed poorly but my hunch is that the weekday offering had more viewers and they want to keep the shows close.
What better way to end of Kuiertyd Premium then with a series that doesn't broadcast during the daytime like #DisComplicated, Elif and Verdeelde Liefde. In the end, it's probably best as eVOD will have more time to build their slate of Turkish shows.
The channel in question eExtra had launched their first non-Kuiertyd show Sisterhood. So in some way you could say that would be sought out as a weekend replacement unless that too is being shelved for weekdays possibly after Orphan Of A Nation.
Regardless, Kuiertyd is forever expanding their portfolio of content with their first show in 2023 Daai Crazy Somer launching on e.tv. The brand will be uploading another show few weeks after the debut which is the eVOD exclusive crime drama, Die Vertroueling.
Die Vertroueling tells the story of a retired soldier who works as a bodyguard and tries to find real culprits responsible for an armed attack at the concert hall. The series stars Burak Deniz and Alina Boz.
The series replaces Die Put weekdays at 21:30 from 24 January 2023.
