Roundups #116: Craig Of The Creek Cancelled On Cartoon Network After 5 Seasons, Reyka Renewed For Season 2 On M-Net And Televisa In Talks To Adapt The Turkish Drama The Girl Named Feriha

Craig Of The Creek is ending here's what you need to know

If you had any hope for the show defying the odds think again, in a series of tweets from the creator Ben Levin talked about the situation while confirming this is really the end.

We wrote the final episode of Craig Of The Creek today. That's 181 episodes in total - not including the movie. Technically, we wrote 188 episodes, but unfortunately 7 of those will not be seen because of our order being cut short (I'll share more about the episodes someday). I'm going to miss this very much. The Creek was a giant sandbox and we tried to make room for everyone to play. We collectively channeled our childhood dreams and adventures into each episode, hoping to inspire the kids watching at home or at least make them laugh. The infinite talents of the entire crew and cast made the Creek into a living, breathing world. The characters and space were rich and nuanced and it felt like we could explore them forever. And we certainly had more stories to tell, but unfortunately because of this merger. This is the end. Still 5 seasons and a movie (and spinoff) ain't nothing. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this writer's room for over six years.

The crew was going to keep this show going but it was cut short with that said what's more concerning is the state of Cartoon Network as the only original program left happens to be We Baby Bears with Teen Titans GO! in another department.

Cartoon Network has a bunch of content coming up such as Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, Invincible Fight Girl and Adventure Time: Fiona And Cake. The only problem is that the channel hasn't shared much details on any of this content of course there is the new Ivandoe series produced in Europe.

Fremantle picks up this local drama for another season

South African crime drama “Reyka,” a co-production between global producer-distributor Fremantle and South African broadcaster M-Net, has been greenlit for a second season.

South African-born Kim Engelbrecht and Iain Glen (“Game of Thrones”) will reprise their roles in the series from writer and creator Rohan Dickson, with production set to kick off in January 2023. Season 2 will premiere on M-Net in late 2023.

The second season centers around a series of violent attacks in the port city of Durban and will see Reyka work with a new team to find mysterious connections between the Lover’s Lane Killer, teenage sex workers and the deadly assault of a cobbler.

Beloved Turkish drama is heading to Mexico

The Girl Named Feriha follows housekeeper Feriha Yilmaz, a young woman from a poor background who is awarded a scholarship to an elite university, where wealthy playboy Emir Sarrafoğlu studies as well. Emir eventually falls in love with Feriha, believing she is also wealthy.

eExtra has been airing all 3 seasons on repeat for as long as it has been viewable on the DStv platform and as several sources mentioned. The Mexican based broadcaster Televisa is looking to adapt the popular Turkish drama - nothing is official as of yet.

But if they do get a shot in remaking The Girl Named Feriha take some facts into account. The whole setting of the show will change some with the character's name. Take into account that this is not the only Turkish drama to be remade by them even Black Money Love was adapted as Imperio De Mentiras.

Synopsis For TLNovelas Africa Upcoming Series Simply Maria/Simplemente María

María is a beautiful, strong, and resolute woman who lives in a small town in Mexico. She has a simple life without any luxuries and she doesn’t need any. She enjoys being around her family.

Don Juan attends a party in the town, determined to make some money with his gamecock. He places a bet on it, but he loses before Isauro. He gets a debt that he can’t afford to pay, but Isauro takes advantage on the situation and offers him to call off his debt in exchange for his older daughter, María… and Don Juan takes his offer.

When she learns that she must move in with a man she doesn’t want to live with, María decides to leave her life behind and escape to the capital city. All she has there is her friend Pina, who helps her get a job as maid.

María works very hard, thus, when her birthday comes, Pina practically yanks her out to get distracted and celebrate her arrival to adulthood in Xochimilco. Alejandro meets her there; he gets mesmerized by her beauty and starts courting her.

Pina acknowledges her friend is falling in love with Alejandro and she introduces her to a young man whom she considers to be a better catch for her: Professor Cristóbal. He is a good-hearted man who teaches her how to read and write and, over time, he grows fond of her.

Prediction: TLNovelas Gets A Name Change Amidst The Merger Between Univision And The Parent Company Televisa + Batch Of Programming Coming To Telemundo Africa And More Zee World Channels

Is the TLNovelas brand name done for?

Last year, it was reported Televisa and Univision would merge to form a new company Televisa-Univision. This merger would see their properties consolidate under one hub.

Televisa-Univision offer linear channels with some markets housing both brands separately while others package one of two. The question dives down to the fate to the linear offering globally.

Before the merger, Univision offered a customised station for Televisa soaps known as Univision TLNovelas. Now that they'll be a single entity perhaps this brand could become a reruns channel with further content moving to Univision while others house the branding.

Univision TLNovelas or vice versa makes a suitable name as the company couldn't think of a much better name than TLNovelas Univision. To be honest, I'd much rather have them use Prende TV as the name for their linear channels.

Keep feeling the passion with Telemundo

Telemundo continues its tough journey ahead following the switch to 7 days a week. The brand has been sourcing out content that not only entertains viewers but keeps their schedule occupied.

In 2022, the channel might welcome originals like Buscando A Frida (The Search For Frida), Parientes A La Fuerza (Family By Force), Pasión de Gavilanes (Hidden Passions) and Preso No. 1 (Prisoner No. 1) alongside new seasons of Operation Pacific and Queen Of The South.

Acquired series include Café Con Aroma De Mujer (Coffee With A Woman's Fragrance/Scent Of Passion) and Enfermeras (Nurses).

REPEEEEEEEATS!!!

As seen last year, we got more repeats than new shows but Telemundo doesn't let that dominate their schedule. Possible returns for the channel include Broken Angel, Almost Yours, The Son I Never Knew, Elena's Ghost, On The Other Side Of The Wall and Price Of Fame.

Super series likely to make a comeback include Prisoners Of Love, Lord Of The Skies and El Baron.

365 days a year and 7 days a week

Since its inception, Zee World has grown to be a trailblazer with their Bollywood offering. It's success further boasted the portfolio with the launches of Zee Alem and the knockoff Zee One.

Several years back, the parent company of these channels expressed ideas of launching regional channels as seen with Zee Alem and not long ago they expanded their offering in Africa.

Zee Alem caters for Ethiopians and seeing that Africa is a diverse market perhaps we could see more of this in Portuguese, French, Zulu and Swahili speaking markets.

While MultiChoice Portuguese section remains as an Iceland. Indian subscribers got WION and Zee Cinema perhaps we could even see channels like Zing or Zee One make their way to the platform.
