The Evil Eye Returns With A New Supernatural Drama On Star Life

Star Life is set to rollout its first supernatural drama within the year titled The Evil Eye Returns following the controversial drama Evil Affairs in 2024 that was moved to late nights on the channel. Known as Jaadu Teri Nazar – Daayan Ka Mausam in India, it is meant to serve as a sequel series to The Evil Eye.

The series premiered on StarPlus on 18 February 2025 and since then over 100 half hour episodes had been released. It starred Khushi Dubey as Gauri Sharma Pratap Singh, Zayn Ibad Khan as Vihaan Pratap Singh alongside Daavansh, Monalisa as Mohana and Ayush Shrivastava as Harsh Pratap Singh.

While Star Life has yet to announce a date, The Evil Eye Returns will likely air within the 10PM CAT timeslot which is where a lot of supernatural shows reside. It being considered a spin-off or sequel to The Evil Eye may not prove to be controversial as Evil Affairs.

Synopsis for The Evil Eye Returns

A Daayan (witch) named Kaamini gives birth to a child fathered by Ravikant Pratap Singh and proclaims him as "Daavansh", the one who holds the key to her immortality. Meanwhile, a girl is born as a "Reevavanshi", the chosen one destined to destroy the Daavansh and the entire Daayan community. A wise woman (Prathamvanshi) from "Prathamvansh" prophesies that this girl will bring about their downfall.

Fearing for her daughter's safety, the girl's mother names her Gauri, strips her of her powers, and buries them, knowing they will return to her when the time is right. To protect Gauri from the Daayans, she entrusts her to the river, believing that divine forces will safeguard her. Enraged, Kaamini kills Gauri's parents.

Meanwhile, Ravikant invites Kaamini to meet their son, Vihaan, but his wife, Veena Pratap Singh, seizes the baby and escapes using magical crystals given by the Reevavanshis. In revenge, Kaamini kills Ravikant. However, Veena manages to trap Kaamini, turning her into a statue using the magical crystals. Before being petrified, Kaamini warns that her son, Vihaan, will inherit her powers and one day resurrect her. Veena raises Vihaan as her own, determined to protect him from his dark destiny.

For saving his family from the evil continuous haunts of Daayan, Vihaan forcefully marries Gauri. Sunehri an evil dayan knowing the truth of Gauri as a Rishwa, tries to kill her. But failed in her attempt. At a time Vihaan enslaved her and Gauri unknown of her powers kills Sunehri. 

Cartoon Network Releases New Opening Title Sqequence And International Premiere Date For The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball

Cartoon Network has announced the international premiere date for its eagerly awaited original animated series The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. Produced by Hanna-Barbara Studios Europe, the series will launch on Monday 6 October across EMEA, Latin America and APAC and on HBO Max (excl US). In recognition of this announcement, Cartoon Network has also unveiled the vibrant main title sequence, designed by acclaimed Jack Sachs – who also created the new logo.

Welcoming audiences back to Elmore – a place where the laws of reality are a joke and family life is anything but ordinary - The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball continues the surreal humour and wild storytelling of the multi- award winning The Amazing World of Gumball. Created and executive produced by Ben Bocquelet, this quarter-hour animated comedy series blends an eclectic mix of media styles – including 2D & 3D animation, CGI, puppetry, photorealism and live action – into a wildly imaginative world defined by its vibrant visual style and sharp meta humour.

Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain serve as Executive Producers and Series Directors. The Composer for the series is Xav Clarke and Joe Sparrow serves as Art Director. The stellar voice cast includes Alkaio Thiele as Gumball, Hero Hunter as Gumball’s younger brother Darwin, Kinza Syed Khan as younger sister Anais, Teresa Gallagher as his mother Nicole, and Dan Russell as his father Richard, and many more.

Ahead of this premiere, Cartoon Network will be celebrating all things Gumball over the summer by airing the very best moments of The Amazing World of Gumball every day. Starting in July audiences can rediscover the joy in the dysfunction of the Watterson family: Gumball, the dynamic and optimistic 12-year-old, his right-hand man, younger brother, and conscience, Darwin, the loveable stay-at-home Dad, Richard, the tireless overworked and yet resilient mum Nicole, and little sister and the smartest of the bunch Anais.

The Amazing World of Gumball is famed for its humorous depictions of the imperfect realities of growing up where everything ordinary becomes extraordinary. The animation was created in 2011 when Ben Bocquelet decided to take some rejected characters he had created for commercials and put them together in one series set inside of a school! Some of the characters in Elmore are based on Ben Bocquelet’s real family!

With self-referential and meta comedic roots from Monday 21 July* audiences can follow the misadventures of Gumball, Darwin and the other quirky residents of Elmore, including; Gumball and Darwin’s classmates Tina, the scary T Rex, with anger issues; Carrie the Emo dressing depressed ghost, and Banana Joe the class clown who laughs at everyone, their teachers Miss Simian whose been teaching second graders for 300,000 years, and Principal Brown a big furry “slug” in love with Miss Simian.
