A Channel First: Plaas Van Passie, KykNet & Kie's First Ever Brazilian Telenovela Debuts In March 2025

Following the rollout of Sommerdahl Moorde and Viola on eExtra in 2024, it appears as if more outlets are going a similar route as eBranded channel and extending their offering outside of Istanbul. As KykNet & Kie has acquired rights to the Brazilian telenovela Plass Van Plassie (Terra e Paixão).

This will be the first time in over a decade that an M-Net channel had partnered with Brazilian broadcaster TV Globo known for Orphan Of A Nation and Empire. Unlike the previous partnerships, this will be the first series to have been dubbed in local languages (Afrikaans).

Synopsis for Plass Van Plassie 

When her husband is killed in a land grabbing attempt, Aline takes charge of cultivating his land and protecting his family. Facing the powerful Antonio La Selva, responsible for the death of her husband and the largest landowner in the region, Aline is determined to keep possession of her land and invest in its production. However, she didn't expect that she would fall in love with Daniel, son of her rival, who is at odds with his rebellious half-brother, Caio, who, in turn, also falls in love with the girl. In the interior of Brazil, Aline will have to fight two battles: the dispute for her lands and for her heart.

Plass Van Plassie aired on TV Globo from 8 May 2023 and concluded on 19 January 2024 with 221 hour long episodes. It starred Bárbara Reis, Cauã Reymond, Glória Pires, Tony Ramos, Paulo Lessa, Agatha Moreira and Johnny Massaro. 

Plaas Van Plassie will air Mondays to Thursdays at 20:00 CAT from 10 March on KykNet & Kie replacing My Naam Is Farah. Also launching in the month of March will be the sixth and final season of Doodsondes on eExtra and new series Happily Ever After on TLNovelas.
