SpongeBob SquarePants Pitch Bible (PDF)

SpongeBob SquarePants, commonly known as the SpongeBob Bible, is the pitch bible for SpongeBob SquarePants . It contains many concepts originally made for the show, but a lot were not included.

The pitch bible is laid out as scientific discoveries from a team of deep sea divers. The research is dedicated to a diver who lost their life due to ocean pressure. The pitch bible starts off detailing the main character, Sponge Boy. It describes his character, how he's different, and his appeal to children. It then shows various drawings of the important buildings and their attributes, with a description of background characters interspersed. After which, A drawing made by Stephen Hillenburg shows a couple on a beach. The woman says "Dave, lets take a moment to talk about the Secondary Characters." It then describes Squidward, Patrick, and Sandy, in that order. A drawing of a tiki saying "other characters is then also seen," followed by drawings and descriptions on Mr. Crabs, Pearl, Plankton, Barnacle Bill, and Mermaid Man. It then describes in further detail, aimed towards executives, of the appeal of Sponge Boy to kids. A comic-style of Sponge Boy is then shown, followed by a Hawaiian background with the text "story ideas for a pilot." Another drawing of Sponge Boy is seen, followed by early plot descriptions and drawings of "Jellyfishing" and "Reef Blower." Another Hawaiian background is shown, now with the text "more story ideas." Then follows plot descriptions for "Mussel Beach," "Squeaky Boots," "Bubblestand," and "Employee of the Month." A drawing of Patrick is shown, followed by more shorter and unnamed story ideas. Another page describing the appeal of Sponge Boy, titled "Why 'SpongeBoy'?" is shown, followed by an image and description of the show pitcher, Stephen Hillenburg. Finally, four drawings depicting various settings in Bikini Bottom are shown, which marks the end of the pitch bible.

News Shorts: Nicktoons Becomes The Last Channel To Enter The Splat Zone, Lord Of The Skies Returns For An 8th Instalment On Telemundo Across Africa This September And MultiChoice Is Rumoured To Be Taking A Playout Test With A Dedicated Channel

Nicktoons gets the splat

During the year, Paramount unveiled a brand new retrofied on air look for Nickelodeon which reached international shores earlier in the month but of course questions amounted to when the rest of their channels like Nick Jr., Nicktoons and TeenNick would integrate with Splat.

So far only Nick Jr. got a new on air look which has yet to hit international shores while the others remain as quo. Not that the rest of their offering wouldn't integrate but it hasn't taken quite sometime for them to make the switch considering that Nickelodeon came in March.

We were only able to get the new Nick Jr. logo through several images shared on the web and a similar outcome awaited the other Nick brands or in this case Nicktoons.

As seen above the official logo, various areas have the "toons" green.

Aurelio also slated to make a comeback on Telemundo this fall

During the week, it was reported that Telemundo would be joining the likes of eExtra, kykNET, StarTimes and Timeless Dizi Channel in the distribution of Turkish dramas with their first series Cennet: The Power Of Destiny which had been scooped up by the channel internationally years prior.

Also confirmed for the channel in the coming months is the revival of Aurelio Casillas in the 8th instalment of Lord Of The Skies with the 9th currently in production and rumoured to debut by the fall of next year.

The 8th season centers on the return of Aurelio Casillas, who supposedly died at the beginning of the previous season after falling into a coma following an attempt on his life. It is only the DEA who knows that Aurelio is alive, having hidden him in the desert. In enacting his plan of revenge, Aurelio establishes connections with old allies, while also facing new romances and uncovering family mysteries. 

It starred Rafael Amaya as Aurelio Casillas, Rubén Cortada as Fernando Aguirre, Carmen Aub as Rutila Casillas, Iván Arana as Ismael Casillas, África Zavala as Mecha de la Cruz, Isabella Castillo as Diana Ahumada, Yuri Vargas as Tracy Lobo and Alejandro López as El Súper Javi.

Playout Test Channel reportedly loading on DStv

During the week, it was learnt that MultiChoice was working on a third TV channel for Siyaya TV, owners of Moja Love. Of course, details of the reported channel have yet to be confirmed as tests are still underway but it is believed to be at the moment a second duplicate of Moja Love also in high definition.

Now the pay-tv company seems to have begun work on a second TV channel titled Playout. Similar to the yet to be announced channel from Siyaya TV, there's not much details available about the channel and most of our search has redirected us to WildEarth so maybe these two are linked.

Interesting enough, WildEarth is also being experimented on but this one is a carbon copy of the current feed already viewable on DStv. It's likely a duplicate but it doesn't explain the name Playout so maybe this could be a seperate channel also under the same name and too in the early stages of development.

Could Nicktoons Be Traded For Nickelodeon On DStv?

During the year, Nicktoons woke up from its repeat slumber with a batch of original content from Nickelodeon including Star Trek: Prodigy, Monster High, Rugrats and The Patrick Star Show and exclusives like The Adventures Of Sammy & Raj and Best & Bester.

As seen in July, these exclusive shows had since then been transmitted on Nickelodeon leaving Nicktoons to open up more timeslots for The Loud House's placeholder The Casagrandes alongside Nickelodeon's longest running show, SpongeBob SquarePants.

From what I can analyse here it's safe to say Paramount isn't prioritising the channel as much as seen in previous years. My guess on these exclusives perhaps it's a regional thing as some territories market Nickelodeon as a premium and in Southern Africa those roles are reversed.

That's also very risky as Southern Africa having Nickelodeon spend less time on Nicktoons but considering a majority can't afford the main channel. It's put in a much better position compared to most of Africa where viewers will probably call view it as liability.

This wasn't really an issue when it was inducted as the current audience weren't familiar with the Splat era of Nickelodeon. Over the years, they've always managed to balance out the content by licencing content from various studios and overtime that fell apart.

If you had to look at the current state of Nicktoons, it matches up to the standards seen on the Disney Channel where less investment is being poured toward new content with the rest of the schedule being bombarded with repeats or older programming.

Aside from Disney Channel if not the rest of Disney's linear offering being folded under Disney+. Would it seem far fetched if the same fate awaited Nicktoons once Paramount+ arrives in the market.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Here Lies Squidward's Hopes And Dreams

When I was younger I always thought that Squidward was a grumpy and mean character because of the way he always talks to his "friends". But as I got older I realise that Squidward wasn't that mean after all - it was SpongeBob.

You see countless scenes where he arrives or works at The Krusty Krab. He is annoyed at all of it when you get older working at jobs you don't like to pay the bills. You can almost relate to him in a way.

It's kind of absurd that us humans have to work our entire lives for money only to then just die. Us humans chase money almost like we're gonna bring it into the next life with us.

I order the food, you cook the food, then the customer gets the food. We do that for 40 years and then we die, sounds like pretty good deal to me. What do you say?, Squidward.

You start to sympathize with him, his character shows that he's tired of it all and the only time you ever see Squidward happy is when he's on vacation or away from people.

The reason Squidward is so mean to SpongeBob and Patrick is because they never leave him alone. Sure these two are very kind and caring individuals in a way but I understand Squidward's frustration with them. You gave to admit these two are very intolerable.

I understand Squidward as I too was an annoying individual as a child so I know what it takes to be an annoying person. It doesn't mean someone is a bad person because they are annoying.

They just treat SpongeBob like a brother to Squidward. He doesn't take no as an answer or know when to stop. He's basically can get on your nerves after a long day.

There's also a scene where Squidward arrives to a tombstone where it's filled with broken dreams.

It goes to show you that a lot of people have dreams that they haven't been able to achieve. This goes to show you that you should be able to chase your dreams don't end up like Squidward and work for a job you hate, grind for your dreams, it will take them but keep grinding and you'll get there.

Development Alert: The Fairly OddParents And My Little Pony: Pony Life Coming Respectively To eToonz And Possible New Channel On DStv Boing Africa

During the year, eMedia Investments had (re)acquired various content from Nickelodeon including Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness, Dora The Explorer and The Loud House. Now the brand is set to rollout their fourth series from the brand, The Fairly OddParents.

Synopsis for the show:

The Fairly OddParents follows Timmy Turner, a 10 year old kid who was given his own fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda who grant his every wish which at times comes with disastrous consequences. Butch Hartman known for Danny Phantom serves as content creator.

Since the series inception, The Fairly OddParents serves as Nickelodeon's second longest running series behind SpongeBob SquarePants. It has also spawned several live-action films and one series alongside various video games, theme park attractions, figurines and toys.

Recently, Nickelodeon had filed a trademark for The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish for entertainment, sporting and cultural services. Not much info is available about it on whether it will be a TV series or film for the brand or through Paramount+.

This comes after the removal of The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder on Paramount+.

Boing, a children's channel operated by Warner Bros. Discovery funneling shows from Cartoon Network and Cartoonito (formerly Boomerang) is set to broadcast the first season to one of the brand's forgotten shows, My Little Pony: Pony's Life.

Synopsis for the show:

Based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the series explores comedic, slice of life stories that Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy experience, primarily while hanging out at Sugarcube Corner.

The series was picked by Cartoonito (formerly as Boomerang) in 2021 and ran for two seasons. Unlike Friendship Is Magic, the series uses a different art style and each episode is 11 minutes long, consisting of two five-minute segments.

During the year, various content from Boing had been registered under DStv Catch-Up (including My Little Pony: Pony Life). According to reps, there are no plans to add Boing to DStv but that doesn't explain its appearance on Catch-Up maybe it will be added later on.

My guess a replacement for Disney Channel or Nicktoons if not a new channel on the platform.

The Fairly OddParents airs Fridays at 16:30 from 30 June on eToonz while My Little Pony: Pony Life is slated to launch later in July on Boing.

Development Alert: More Nicktoons Coming Soon To Nickelodeon Africa With Best & Bester And The Adventures Of Sammy & Raj

During the year, the repeat studded Nicktoons by Paramount Global unveiled two new series, The Adventures Of Sammy & Raj and Best & Bester. This was the first in several months that the brand had recieved any fresh content following its snoozefest in 2022.

Synopsis for The Adventures Of Sammy & Raj:

The series follows the reality-bending adventures of a pair of cousin-brothers, Sammy and Raj, as they pause, rewind, fast-forward, and slow-motion their way into a whole host of rowdy laugh-out-loud exploits with a mysterious time-altering app at their fingertips.

Nickelodeon International teamed up with Nickelodeon India, a part of Viacom18 that is a joint venture between Paramount Global and Network18, to co-produce The Twisted Timeline of Sammy & Raj making it the first collaboration between both parties.

Synopsis for Best & Bester:

Best & Bester is a buddy comedy about two friends who can transform themselves into whatever they want, once per day — but figuring out what’s the best thing to be can be pretty tricky when you can be anything. Catered for 7 to 11 year olds, it takes the idea of choices and comparisons to ridiculous heights.

The series was produced by Giggle Entertainment who previously worked on 101 Dalmatian Street which was basically a revival to the 101 Dalmatian franchise for Disney Channels in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

After several months, both series are slated to air on Nickelodeon later in July. For a while now, this has been a norm for Paramount to take the channel's very few premier shows and have reruns and further episodes made available to Nickelodeon.

We've been saying this for a while now it's better the brand merges with Nickelodeon as there's isn't much left to explore that you wouldn't find on the main channel. It's weird how the channel is regarded premium in various African markets if the only thing original is NickMusic.

New Series Alert: The Loud House To Make Its Freemium Debut On eToonz

eToonz, South Africa's only free-to-air children's channel home to variety of animated and live-action content part of which is currently viewed on e.tv's youth block Craze has acquired rights to one of Nickelodeon's most popular shows, The Loud House.

Synopsis for The Loud House:

The series revolves around the chaotic everyday life of a boy named Lincoln Loud, who is the middle child and only son in a large family of 11 children. It is set in a fictional town in southeastern Michigan called Royal Woods.

Since the series inception back in 2016, it has spawned seven seasons currently seen on Nickelodeon alongside three feature films two of which are live-action. It has also spawned two spinoffs, The Casagrandes and it's live-action counterpart, The Really Loud House.

In June 2017, the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB), headed by CEO Ezekiel Mutua, ordered a ban of the series alongside several shows seen on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel for allegedly promoting homosexual themes to minors.

Although, The Loud House can't be viewed in other parts of Africa alongside Nicktoons. It is however very much active in South Africa on Nickelodeon with eToonz set to be a number of alternatives for The Loud House from 1st June at 16:00.

Nicktoons And Nick Jr. New Look Reportedly Revealed

During the year, Paramount revived the Splat logo on Nickelodeon which at the time was only viewable at the 2023 KCAs and applicable to consumers in the United States. As reported a few days ago, the revamped look is set to hit international shores by July 2023.

“It was time for us to really look at the brand, and look at our audience, and talk with our audience and revisit all the pieces of Nickelodeon,” Sabrina Caluori, evp of global kids and family marketing at Nickelodeon and Paramount, told sources.

As seen already, Nickelodeon is the only brand to have gotten a makeover while sister channels, Nick Jr. and Nicktoons in Africa alongside international brands TeenNick and Nick@Nite have yet to make the switch despite various reports claiming otherwise.

I mean idea of these brands aligning their logo to match that of Nickelodeon doesn't seem far fetched as BET and MTV had all undergone something similar years prior followed by various brands in their division so questions lurk on when the switch will happen.

As seen through MarkPipi's DeviantArt account are the soon to be launched logos for Nicktoons and Nick Jr. alongside Nick International.

Nicktoons only includes the Splat on the part labelled Nick while Nick Jr. goes for a more rounded approach as opposed to incorporating the Splat likely due to the fact it's the only other Nick brand get original programming as opposed to Nicktoons which is just repeats.

During the week, Paramount continued cutting back on their workforce and are currently merging network groups under one division. It wouldn't be shocking if at some point in time likely by 2027 they opted to phase out brands like Nicktoons for Paramount+.

Various licences for the Nick channels had been renewed through 2027 of course not much has been said about the Nickelodeon channels in Africa. It wouldn't be shocking if it went a similar route as seen with their international counterparts.

Recap To The Month: Could Nicktoons Africa Be On The Chopping Block As More Nickelodeon And Nick Jr. Enter The Channel?

A few years ago, Nick Jr. rolled out a dedicated preschool block on Nicktoons featuring shows such as Paw Patrol, Dora The Explorer, Blaze And The Monster Machine and Peppa Pig. Initially serving as a 4 hour block at launch was halved over the years.

We believe the viewership for the channel plummeted as most of their demographic view brands like Cartoon Network and DreamWorks and the other having to make the channel look almost identical to Nick Jr. and limiting the amount of older kids programming.

Of course, there's a lot of complications with the Nick brands across Africa. Nickelodeon Africa is accessible even on rival platforms while in South Africa the brand is viewed as a premium channel same goes for Nick Jr. but with Nicktoons it's where the rolls have been reserved.

That could explain why the channel offered less repeats from Nickelodeon at one point and why currently there's a Nick Jr. The increase in hours for the block is probably another way to give these

Here's the schedule for the channel as follows on weekdays:

* Bold is for Nick Jr.

23:45 Corn & Peg

23:19 Programme To Be Confirmed

23:55 The Penguins Of Madagascar

Interesting to note, Nicktoons is still The SpongeBob SquarePants and Casagrandes Channel. We believe this may have to do with the fact that The Loud House has been deemed inappropriate in other countries so they went for the runner-up.

Also interesting to take into account, Nick Jr. has got more airtime 45 minutes to be exact as if anyone cares about the 3am slot but it does leave as even more curious to the shift in programming for the channel.

Could it be possible Paramount is ready to retire the brand as most of the offering Best & Bester and The Twisted Timeline Of Sammy And Raj will likely be forgotten in the next couple of months or a year with the others already viewable through Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.

NickMusic and Zulu SpongeBob SquarePants basically the only original aspect to Nicktoons could as well be transmitted through Nickelodeon if Paramount ever learns to put their thinking caps on.

News Shorts: ALVINNN!!! And The Chipmunks To Move From Nickelodeon To Netflix For Season 6, Radha Mohan Makes It's Highly Anticipated Debut On Zee World And Ice Adonis To Rollout On St Novelas E Plus

Nickelodeon abandons yet another project

A Netflix renewal and rights extension is among a set of new deals for Bagdasarian Productions’ CG animated series ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks.

Netflix has confirmed additional licensing of the franchise, which has been on the platform since 2016. In addition to renewing seasons one and two, Netflix signed on for seasons three and four worldwide (excluding the U.S., LatAm, Germany, France, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan).

Radha Mohan gets a release date on Zee World

Earlier in the year, Zee World unveiled a batch of productions set to rollout on the channel later in the year and one of shows on topic include the above-mentioned Radha Mohan which is set to premiere from April 8th.

In modern-day Vrindavan, Mohan, a charming flute player, loses his spark post a tragedy. Radha, who admires him since her childhood days, decides to remind him of his true love, Lord Krishna.

Ice Adonis expands to StarTimes

Stories and triangles revolving around the revenge of a woman who lost everything including her family and her one true love. The series launched in 2012 and consisted of 60 episodes. It was made available to eExtra back in 2021 as the first Asian/Korean based series.

Now the series expands to StarTimes on St Novelas E Plus every weekday at 21:30 from March 30th.

News Shorts: The Splat Is Back! As Nickelodeon Debuts Fresh New Look, Glow TV Issues Out Statement Following Its Termination On Openview And StarSat, And An Eye For An Eye Becomes The Next Pick To Make Its Linear Debut On e.tv

Introducing news shorts basically a revamped version to the current Roundups but instead of shortening info we look at getting content that doesn't need too much detail but of course we can't guarantee how often this will be a thing as the content in question match the whole scenario.

Bring on the slime

As advised, Nickelodeon is pairing this year’s fun-filled slime-fest, the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2023, with the debut of an all-new brand refresh of its on-air look and feel!

The rebrand reimagines Nickelodeon's iconic splat logo and slime with a fresh new design, and includes new on-air graphics, such as lower-thirds, updated BUG/DOG, bumpers, idents, promo endboards and a new "Nickelodeon Productions" endboard.

This marks Nickelodeon's first brand refresh in six years.

The demise of Glow TV

Notice to all our loyal viewers. Take note that we are currently facing various challenges, including the high level of loadshedding throughout the country, which is impacting negatively on our viewership. One of our options for now, is for GlowTV to be on the OTT platform (streaming), so that programs can be watched even on your phones. Unfortunately, due to our contracts expiring we will be off air on some of the platforms, effective from March 1. Please keep in touch with us for the latest updates via our social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. We thank you for your support over the years. - GlowTV team.

More eVOD coming soon to e.tv

From having almost everything, a happy and successful life, The Hero protagonist in the film Caesar loses this overnight and is forced on the run with nothing and leaving everything behind. He returns and fights to reclaim everything he lost. Joining him on the escapades is his love Lucy, their son Zack and the antagonist known as The Don.

Debuted in 2022 on eVOD, the film airs next Sunday at 20:00 from 12 March with exclusive film from the streamer Surviving Gaza airing later in the same timeslot.

RUMOUR: Nickelodeon To Debut New Logo And Full On Out Rebrand Amidst The 2023 Kids Choice Awards

This era of Nickelodeon was undeniably one of the greatest eras in TV animation. There was a show for everyone and it felt like the characters were in their own universe. The Nicktoons era ascended the channel's popularity to where it is right now even though animation isn't much of a focus right now.

When we look back at Nick's history a major turning point was the logo. What was once an exciting splat oozing with personality essentially became a normal SpongeBob.

Nickelodeon oversimplified their look before oversimplify was cool I mean yeah it gets the job done but at what costs. This logo (above) is where everything went wrong.

Fast forward to 2023 and we might be on the verge of something amazing. Over to Twitter, Nickandmore posted about a new Nickelodeon production dense card used in a SpongeBob episode. Not only that ads for the Kids Choice Awards reveal the same thing.

Our journey continues with The Tiny Chef Show, on Nickelodeon he's got his own live-action puppet show where he makes meals. In a new Instagram post, the character revealed he was invited to the Kids Choice Awards for a "special walk" on the orange carpet.

Since news of the logo surfaced, it was met with a lot of praise by fans for combining the current Nickelodeon logo with the old logo which featured Splat.

This happens to be one of the best logos the channel has ever debuted throughout its existence and it's possible rebrand means that it joins the likes of other brands from Paramount Global to get a makeover including Comedy Central, MTV and BET.

This new logo should it permanent will likely rollout on other Nick brands such as Nick Jr. and Nicktoons seeing as those are sister channels and besides that MTV Base had aligned their logo to match with MTV so there's no reason for why the same can't happen in this instance.

Roundups #144: ALVINNN!!! And The Chipmunks Possibly Cancelled On Nickelodeon, Die Put To Return For A Third Season This March On eVOD Ahead Of Debut On eExtra, Nikki Bella Makes A Comeback To E! Africa To Say I Do

It's farewell to Alvin, Simon, Theodore and David Seville

Just like most other instalments of the franchise, the series reflects the trials and tribulations of a single parent, David Seville, trying to raise six hyper-active Chipmunks. Like most parents, Dave's patience will be pushed to the limit, forcing him to end most sentences in "ALVINNN!!!"

The series gained a lot of popularity following its debut in 2015 on Nickelodeon (or Nicktoons) that multiple broadcasters such as e.tv acquired rights to the musical duo. So far the series has over 260+ episodes within 5 seasons with an additional two seasons possibly scrapped.

In 2019, it was announced an additional two seasons were ordered bringing ALVINNN!!! And The Chipmunks to 360+ episodes and 7 seasons through 2025 but as several sources noted Nickelodeon has removing the show or promoting them less internationally.

Coincidence, the owners of the Alvin And The Chipmunks franchise Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. and Janice Karman were exploring a potential sale and Paramount was said to be a bidder with these developments happening in several countries it could mean they're out the running.

Die Put becomes a eVOD exclusive

Ahead of its debut on eExtra in May, eVOD the digital component of the channel announced the upcoming third season of Die Put would be available to stream on the platform two months in advance. I don't know but it doesn't look like eMedia is pulling a DStv.

I mean several channels ranging from M-Net, 1Magic even the BBC are labelled as premium based channels with the second grade channels such as Me, Mzansi Magic and BBC UKTV picking up the slack now eExtra knows how it feels to be second rate.

Here's a synopsis to Die Put S3:

Koçovalı Family are faced with the biggest pain of their lives. Because of Yücel's trap, one of Yamaç or İdris Koçovalı had to kill the other. While Akın Koçovalı takes control of Çukur, where nothing will be the same as before, the step of Baykal's daughter Efsun to Çukur will cause the cards to be redistributed. While Efsun's plan, who collaborated with Yücel, Azer, and Timsah, is eagerly awaited, it will be a question mark how Akın will led the neighborhood.

Roundups #141: Peppa Pig's Glasses Show Has Been Deemed Inappropriate For Facebook's Guidelines, Marvel Studios Reportedly Set To Debut Two Series Within 2023 And Telemundo Set To Debut First Original Series In March 2023, Game Of Lies

Peppa Pig has become a laughing stock

During the week, Peppa Pig got some much needed attention after a Facebook user called Daily Nick uploaded a clip to one of the episodes titled Glasses Show and the Facebook rodents swooped in and deemed it sexually inappropriate.

Taking to account that Facebook has become an absolute joke and if there's one thing Elon can save it's Facebook. It's currently a trainwreck waiting to happen if Peppa Pig glasses is inappropriate then posting about the weather is deemed violent.

Peppa Pig has been having a run since 2004 and has been a part of gags, jokes and has even made various appearances take for instance Family Guy where she has killed in a car accident or Robot Chicken where she was deemed a criminal to society.

All of this makes me feel as if she was being targeted about Facebook's latest rant with the character is something to laugh about.

Marvel might be putting the breaks on new content

Marvel's big MCU Phase 5 reveal at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 revealed six shows would likely be arriving on Disney+ in 2023, that number allegedly may drop to only two with Loki Season 2 and Secret Invasion being the only "sure bets" for this year.

As reported by THR, this news follows comments by Disney CEO Bob Iger, in which he said the company needs to be "better at curating" franchise content that is "extraordinarily expensive.

Marvel content obviously doesn't come cheap, and Disney was planning on potentially releasing Loki's second season, Secret Invasion, What If... ?'s second season, Ironheart, Echo, and Agatha: Coven of Chaos in 2023. If these changes are to go through, sources say Loki and Secret Invasion may be the only ones to make it out, even though shows like Echo and Ironheart have wrapped their productions months ago.

“There is going to be a level of rigor on Marvel and across the entire company,” one company insider says. “Numbers matter now, and costs are going to be outlined and enforced.”

Telemundo still lagging behind schedule

For several months, Telemundo has been lagging behind in terms of original programming leading repeat padded African feed of the channel seen on MultiChoice's platforms to sought content from Colombian broadcasters Caracol Television and RCN Television.

Caracol Television had worked with the channel on Hidden Passions including the second season and is supplying the upcoming Ana's Revenge while RCN Television has Nurses and The Scent Of Passion with Until Money Do Us Part rolling out in the coming month.

After a long while since the channel struggled to obtain original programming, it was announced from the main feed that Telemundo will be rolling out a new show from March 7th 2023 titled Game Of Lies (Juego De Mentiras) starring Arap Bethke and Altair Jarabo.

The story is set in the city of Los Angeles and San Clemente, California, Game Of Lies follows the footsteps of César Ferrer, a hard working man who always dreamed of having his own family and who gives his life for his own daughter Noelia.
