Roundups #121: More Amazing World Of Gumball Coming Soon To Cartoon Network, Meet In Love Returning For A Second Season On Zee World And Also Returning For A Second Season Is The eVOD Original Production uMbali

The Amazing World might have been renewed for a season 7???

In September 2021, we learnt that Gumball was getting a movie and a series. Jump to present day and no details about these projects have been revealed. In fact, the movie's fate got worse as it was revealed to not be moving forward on HBO Max unless another streaming service picks it up.

Nothing had been stated about the series but there's now we have confirmation that new content is coming soon and it comes from an employee that works on Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe.

Here's what they say in a post on LinkedIn:

I'm excited and very proud to be series producing The Amazing World Of Gumball for a season 7 for Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. Watch out for job opportunities in 2023.

But it just leads to further questions is this season 7 related to the new series or is it just a continuation of the original series.

Reminder: Ash's Journey On e.tv To End In 2023 With A 13 Episode Story Arc Ahead Of New Series

After 25 long years, Ash Ketchum’s journey to become the Pokémon world champion is complete, and his story is drawing to a close. Following the conclusion of the show’s 25th season in March 2023, The Pokémon Company will premiere the next chapter in its 2D-animated franchise’s story worldwide without its iconic trainer or his loyal companion, Pikachu.

The upcoming Pokémon saga (which doesn’t have a title yet) will follow the adventures of a new pair of lead characters—named Liko and Roy in the Japanese broadcast—who travel across the region of Paldea to discover new Pokémon and battle skilled trainers. The anime series will feature new creatures from the 2022 Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, including grass cat Sprigatito, fire croc Fuecoco and duckling Quaxly.

Before the new series debuts, the final 11-episode chapter of Ash and Pikachu’s journey will roll out weekly in Japan starting on January 13. These episodes of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series will feature a cast of returning monsters and characters, including Ash’s friends Misty and Brock, and it’s also meant to hint at what’s in store for the long-running show’s protagonist after the curtain falls.

The first season of the Pokémon anime series debuted in the US in 1998, and the brand’s content canon now features more than 1,200 main series episodes and 23 feature films. The show currently airs exclusively in the US on Netflix, which has been hungry for more Pokémon content. In August, the streamer purchased global rights to the 2D-animated special Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles, and it picked up CG-animated movie Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution in 2020.

Beyond animation, The Pokémon Company International is also developing an unscripted live-action series based on the property’s long-running trading card game.

eAfrica Vs. BBC UKTV: Another Attempt To Auction Off Second Hand Goods

eAfrica was a Pan-African feed of the current e.tv channel seen by South African consumers where they'd serve up current local dramas like Scandal, House Of Zwide, Imbewu and Durban Gen alongside other content to various platforms in neighbouring countries.

Aside from local dramas, eAfrica offered selected movies, series and kids shows from e.tv but it wasn't only a duplicate for the e.tv channel as its lineup featured content Openview consumers would have come across on various e.tv channels particularly eExtra and eReality.

Now BBC UKTV is set to join the list of channels probably by next month latest January 2023 to turn second hand goods into fresh goods as it offers a lineup of content from reality shows such as Live At The Apollo and The Graham Norton Show to drama series like My Family and Casualty.

eMedia Investments:
- Prediction: eToonz to get an additional channel
- Could Openview+ lead to 24 hour capability of these channels?
- eToonz schedule explained
- Housewives has been scrapped from e.tv's lineup
- eMedia's 4 channels to go dark on DStv
- Charlize Theron opinion over the Afrikaans language

It will even feature wildlife, lifestyle and kiddies programming (part of which can't be accessed on DStv as they don't supply BBC Kids).

On the upside, consumers won't spend should they use the Openview platform and with DStv more consumers are likely to downgrade or join the rival platforms if it means they'll be paying less and viewing the same content. At this point, it's not about getting the latest content but finding something edible.

Openview:
- Alternatives to News And Sport Channel
- BYUTV - another alternative to eToonz
- Why Openview competitor is a free-to-view Netflix?
- Openview to come with monthly fees
- Glow TV to be replaced by eBolly (prediction)
- DMAX rolls out in the African market (prediction)

While South Africa was able to get eAfrica in seperate components. eMedia was able to take advantage of those restrictions by using the channel to promote several content seen on eExtra (with Qubool Hai and The Heir) and eReality (with Botched and Forensic Files).

Channels like these are starting to become a necessity I mean folks overseas have gotten used to format and such has responded well with their audiences as it cutbacks on repeats and boosts the amount of fresh content.
