Roundups #73: Cartoon Network Delays The Final Season Of Summer Camp Island, eReality Working On Pregnancy Based Series Inhlawulo Damages And The Season Finale Of Bridal Material On Zee World Alongside Returning Series This Is Fate

Summer Camp Island's weird delay

The sixth and final season of Summer Camp Island has been postponed until next year. New episodes of the acclaimed Cartoon Network Studios series were scheduled to appear on HBO Max on June 9, but the streamer mysteriously delayed the new episodes on June 6. Creator Julia Pott told fans that the reason for the delay does not have to do with the show itself.

One fan asked if there was a reason for the delay, but she could not explain. "Unfortunately not allowed to share but it's just logistical things and nothing to do with the show itself," the Adventure Time veteran wrote . When another fan asked if anyone asked for a delay because of the content, Pott said no. "We will still tell all our stories about time," she wrote .

Summer Camp Island launched on Cartoon Network in 2018 and moved to HBO Max for its second season in June 2020. The show centers on friends Oscar Peltzer, an elephant, and Hedgehog, a hedgehog, who were dropped off at a magical summer camp at the start of the series.

Isa Soares Tonight Launch On CNN International

CNN International launch a new global news hour, anchored by Emmy Award-winning journalist Isa Soares, to its European prime time lineup from Monday, 4 July. Isa Soares Tonight will broadcast live from CNN’s EMEA headquarters in London, weeknights at 7pm BST/8pm CET.

Drawing on Soares’s experience in the field, Isa Soares Tonight will cover the most pressing global issues across politics, business and culture. The nightly programme will bring together CNN’s world-class journalists with top newsmakers and experts to help viewers navigate the complex events shaping our present and our future.

A Portuguese native, as well as a fluent Spanish speaker, Soares’s language skills have been brought to bear in her reporting from Latin America and Southern Europe, and most recently she has played a key role in CNN’s on-the-ground coverage of the war in Ukraine.

 

“For more than 20 years I’ve had the privilege of reporting history and shining a light on humanity, covering the pain and sacrifice that comes with some of the most heart-wrenching stories of our times,” Soares said. “From Venezuela to Colombia and Spain to Ukraine, I’ve traveled the world to give a voice to the voiceless, driven partly by my personal links across the continents. With Isa Soares Tonight I will continue holding those in power to account and help shape an honest, smart and in-depth news programme at a time of great uncertainty and division.” 

Additionally, CNN International is enhancing its European breakfast programming with the launch of CNN Newsroom with Max Foster at 9am BST/10am CET. Airing around the world on both CNN International and CNN/US, CNN Newsroom will build on Foster’s experience covering major stories in the UK and across Europe and his unique access to some of the biggest names in European politics and culture.

“With the launch of Isa Soares Tonight and move of CNN Newsroom with Max Foster, CNN International is putting our European audience at the centre of our refreshed evening and morning lineups,” said Meara Erdozain, senior vice president of programming for CNN International. “Isa and Max are both exceptional, highly-experienced journalists with unique perspectives on the stories that resonate with audiences in Europe and beyond. Their warm, engaging style and empathetic storytelling will help lead viewers through the key news of the day.”

10PM Will Never Be The Same Again As The Professionals Returns To e.tv

It's been 3 months since e.tv's viewers got much international shows from the channel as the brand boosts their local portfolio with the likes of The Black Door and Isono leaving 10pm as the only source for such content but as seen in the past months the quality has dropped.

I mean they've got decent programs in that slot at the moment L.A's Finest and The Blacklist but no one seems to care that much about them not even the channel as the content airs back to back and you're used to seeing fold one sheet over another but that's not the case.

 

Questions have risen over the fate of 10pm slot as there hasn't much variety in a while and after 6 months we finally got some confirmation from the channel.

Apparently, the 2020 action series Professionals which was the last international series at 8:30pm in April before local dramas took over will replace L.A's Finest from 11 July.

Through a briefing, eMedia had mentioned that they've scrapped shows like S.W.A.T., New Amsterdam and Seal Team. Is it possible that some of this content will just resurface on a limited basis or could the channel be seeking more short form series for the 10pm timeslot.
