No There Are No Plans For 12 Seasons Of Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug And Cat Noir

Last month, there was a lot of misinformation regarding Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug And Cat Noir. There was this conference that went on and was in French so we had English translators who were trying to translate stuff and began spreading things out of context so I want to clear that up.

Now the big one that has been going around is that they'll be 12 seasons where they have planned 12 seasons but that's just not true. Now there are 7 seasons confirmed for Miraculous and you have a team of writers who were excited that they thought up some ideas for further seasons.

They weren't official ideas it was something that they've been brainstorming so no there are no 12 seasons, they aren't planning on having 12 seasons, there's currently 7 seasons and if all goes well they'll probably extend it if they have things to make so that's that.

Next it was announced that the next season would be a musical and I don't remember hearing something like that and now it's been confirmed that is not a thing. There will be songs but not for a type of full on musical thing.

Another thing is that there's people who think they'll be 3 active sentimonsters again that was taken out of context. They were just saying that there was 3 active sentimonsters in season 4. Of course, we have been seeing a lot of them so I wouldn't be surprised if there was more come season 5.

Another topic that was addressed was Mrs. Bustiers' husband now there was a mistake in the question and yes we will get to see Mrs. Bustiers' partner implying that she might be in a relationship or attracted to people of a similar sex.

There a couple of unmentioned topics such as Gabriel's presence in season 5 which we'll definitely get on top of that some Brazil project which is still underway.

[Missed Opportunity]: Expanding The Reach Of Zee World To DStv Access

eExtra was ripped off from the DStv platform for at least a month and was reinstated shortly after alongside eToonz, eMovies and eMovies Extra on the DStv platform following pending investigation by the Competition Tribunal which will take at least 6 months to resolve.

MultiChoice appears to have moved on although they don't put it in writing recent additions like DreamWorks and Movie Room has led me to believe that the pay-tv company has no plans to keep these channels past 6 months or at least a portion of channels.

As outlined by MultiChoice, eMedia Investments bulk of content doesn't fit into their 5 year content strategy for which the brand had stated consumers are viewing more DStv content than actual original programs although 2 appear to fit that description.

On top of that, they had mentioned that they won't be able to launch as much channels as they used to in the past year due to transponder constraints so whenever a new channel comes it usually has to occupy the space taken away from another channel.

In court, MultiChoice stated 3 SABC channels would accommodate for the 4 e.tv channels in the coming future but that's the thing. If anyone is similar with the SABC then you can already imagine how the content would differ.

Instead of Postman Pat you get Words And Numbers and Die Put is supplemented by past episodes of 90 Plein Street and although some of this content can benefit some audiences it's completely different.

The package I'm targeting for this article had to be Easyview cause as seen by several consumers it's one of the least valuable packages in the market with few exceptions being wrestling on TNT alongside the lifestyle and factual entertainment viewed on Real Time.

On top of that, the package isn't fortunate with additions and at times replacements for whenever a channel is removed from the DStv platform which was the case with eMedia's 4 channels.

When they were unexpectedly scrapped from the DStv platform. Multichoice rather just add 1 channel to supplement for 4 worse is when the channel has nothing remotely similar to any of the channels, KIX.

MultiChoice should have done a better job reviewing the aspects of each channel cause it's clear by some readers that this wasn't the case at all for eMedia's stations as the brand made it seem as if nothing new appeared on those stations.

eToonz was mostly preschool and that changed over the years regardless MultiChoice directed viewers to Disney Junior and JimJam with Cartoon Network being the only brand for older children and eExtra came off as a local channel.

Interesting to note is how they were able to keep up with the offering but didn't bother to just view every aspect of the channel as there was more to the channel than the supposed local offering which was compared to kykNET and Mzansi Wethu.

There was more to eExtra than just Kuiertyd there was that chunk of Korea and Zee TV offering which surprise surprise comes with a 24 hour linear channel that is seen on DStv Access everywhere else except South Africa but MultiChoice just opts for more MTV Base.

Viewers on DStv Access get to view this offering for only 6 months but what happens that duration passes those who are paying more can view this content on Zee World while those paying less being these consumers even Easyview are left in the dark for the foreseeable future.

Rumour: eMedia Investments To Add A Further 4 Channels On The Openview Platform

eMedia Investments unveiled their annual results last month and a lot was unveiled during that time such as the launch of the Openview pay-tv tier to rival with the likes of MultiChoice's DStv and On Digital Media and StarTimes' StarSat and the addition of a new channel in October.

Although not much details have been shared about the channel, it is believed by several consumers that it could be another channel from eMedia Investments. As of this moment, nothing is certain at this point so viewers have to wait until there's official confirmation.

Other channels viewers have been waiting aimlessly on for more than a year comes from the SABC which might have showed their showed their faces ahead of their debut on the platform but what's got viewers more curious is the test cards on the platform.

eMedia Investments seems to have placed 4 test cards implying that consumers may be getting a total of 4 channels and I know we have 2 SABC channels coming to the Openview platform but what are the chances that these test cards have nothing to do with them.

SABC has been testing out potential new channels exclusively on their DTT plans through Sentech of course none of these experiments have been conducted outside that area which just builds more questions as to what the test cards are for.

All we know at this point is that 4 developments are happening on the Openview platform.

Roundups #85: Live-Action Pac-Man Movie Is In The Works, BET+ Acquired Broadcasting Rights To South African Drama Series Pulse And Doom Patrol Alongside Titans Expected To Be Cancelled

Pac-Man to get feature film

A live-action film is in development based on the classic arcade game character with an endless appetite, Pac-Man.

The project hails from Bandai Namco Entertainment — the company behind Pac-Man, as well as games like Galaga and Tekken — and Wayfarer Studios, the production company founded by Justin Baldoni and Steve Sarowitz.

First introduced in the U.S. in 1980 — and originally called Puck Man in Japan — Pac-Man became a coin-operated staple. The game is set in mazes where Pac-Man has to eat pellets while being pursued by colorful ghosts as the mazes get progressively more difficult.

Pulse is streaming overseas

BET+ has picked up the U.S. streaming rights to South African-produced sci-fi survival thriller “Pulse.”

“Pulse” tells the explosive story of an electromagnetic pulse that disables a secure building and disrupts the bio-electric signals in everyone’s minds, trapping a group of video game designers and turning each floor into a psychotic battlefield. The show questions whether the modern human race can really survive without the technology that defines our way of life today.

The series shot in South Africa as well as Mauritius.

Doom Patrol and Titans have not been cancelled

DC fans were sent into a flurry the past day as a Variety report circulated that Doom Patrol and Titans, two refugee shows from the DC Universe streaming service, were expected to be cancelled.

But now, it has been updated that piece to reflect that a decision has not been made and that “like all shows,” their renewal will depend on the performance of the upcoming seasons that will be out later this year. I think fans were freaked out about maybe even those seasons being not allowed to air, given that anything seems possible after WB killed its finished Batgirl movie in order to take the tax writedown. Nothing feels safe, even if so far, Batgirl and one Kevin Smith project appear to be the only confirmed casualties under the new WB Discovery management.

But even if Titans and Doom Patrol are safe for now, I would be somewhat surprised if that continued into the future, and for me personally, I do expect probably Doom Patrol, and possibly Titans to be canceled as WB tries to rein in its variety of DC universes they have running, whether that’s deserved or not.
