Netflix and DreamWorks are teaming up for more Boss Baby

The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib is set to debut globally on Netflix May 19, picking up where last year’s feature film sequel The Boss Baby: Family Business left off.

In the latest series, main character Theodore Templeton is framed for embezzlement and forced to turn back into Boss Baby. Now living with his brother Tim and nieces Tabitha and Tina, Theodore must band together with his family to fight against a new group of arch-enemies, the Uncuddelables.

Back in the Crib is produced by Brandon Sawyer and Matt Engstrom, and its voice cast has yet to be announced.

This is the second series in the franchise that Netflix and DreamWorks have collaborated on. The first, Back in Business, ran for four seasons from 2018 to 2020. And Family Business grossed US$ 147 million at the worldwide box office across 3,644 theaters in 2021.

It's possible that Imbewu is going nowhere

As stated earlier, e.tv will be airing a new series The Black Door during Imbewu, could this signal the end of Imbewu or is there more to the story that e.tv is not mentioning?

According to sources, Isono airs in the 20:30 timeslot which was known for international dramas and I haven't watched any BET for a long time and if I had to guess Isono runs for a duration of 23-25 minutes.

Meaning there's extra 25-30 minutes which will likely be used for Imbewu or this new telenovela although a timeslot was provided you can never be certain about anything.

Important notice for DStv customers

To assure viewers that MultiChoice is not kidding about scrapping most of the e.tv channels. They'll soon be adding a channel termination notice on each station.

Interesting enough, these notices target channels particularly on DStv Family and Access:

• eExtra - viewers are encouraged to tune into kykNET & Kie and Mzansi Wethu. (Someone was doing their homework to recommend kykNET)
• eMovies and eMovies Extra - both movie channels so of course same recommendation. Viewers are encouraged to tune into M-Net Movies, Studio Universal and TNT.
• eToonz - basically treated like a preschool channel encourages viewers to tune into Disney Junior and JimJam with the help of Cartoon Network.

- eExtra, eMovies, eMovies Extra and eToonz will stop airing on DStv

Isono has got another head

Earlier in the week, it was reported that e.tv picked up rights to BET's first local telenovela Isono and will be launching a new drama titled, The Black Door in place of Imbewu apparently.

The ideology was that both dramas would fill up the slot of two of the four local dramas seen on e.tv but that's not the case.

According to sources, the series will fill up the 8:30 slot on weeknights which is home to shows such as the 3 Chicago series, Magnum Pi and NCIS: Los Angeles and is currently vacant for the third season of the military drama S.W.A.T.

Also read:
- eExtra, eMovies, eMovies Extra and eToonz to stop airing on DStv
- Dokter Ali S2 coming in April to eExtra
- The Daughter-In-Law coming soon to Zee World while a repeat of The Vow debuts on Zee One
- Unforseen Love, Bold and Beautiful and Destined Love coming soon to Star Life
- Balaji Telefilms unveils new content possibly for Glow TV, Zee One, eExtra and Star Life
- Should eReality merge with News And Sport?
- Why MultiChoice is scrapping the eMedia channels?
- Doodsondes returning for a fourth season on eExtra
- Saloni and East Meets West coming soon to SABC 2

Meaning viewers will be losing another international slot or at least until Isono has paid its dues.

Qhayiya Phato on his upcoming novel Noxolo The Bride

The aspiring artist who has been in a long time fan of eMedia Investments has begun work on a novel, Noxolo The Bride which follows the ups and downs of the titular character and her groom to be Sandile.

Both with triggered pasts, the two embark on a journey of self discovery as they hit a few potholes along the way which will test their commitment towards one another.
