"iCarly will not be returning for a fourth season on Paramount+," a spokesperson for the streamer told sources in a statement. "The series had a great three-season run and delivered on what fans really wanted to see with Carly and Freddie finally getting together. We want to thank the entire cast, the writers, directors and producers along with the whole crew for their dedication, creativity, and talent." The first iteration of iCarly aired on Nickelodeon from 2007-2012 and starred Miranda Cosgrove as an early internet influencer whose titular web show becomes very popular. Jennette McCurdy played her best friend Sam, and Nathan Kress played her friend/love interest Freddie, while Jerry Trainer portrayed Carly's older brother Spencer.

Since 2006, Crunchyroll has been known as the leading destination for anime fans featuring shows such as My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Attack On Titan and One Piece. Since it's inception in 2006, it garnered 120 million subscribers globally with 1% of the population under a paywall.

Through the greenhouse website , it was revealed that the company is looking for a director/manager in charge of managing the upcoming linear service to the current Crunchyroll streaming service alongside the programming and operations for the brands. For now, the channel will rollout in North America (likely Latin America) and through a statement it was also mentioned that the Crunchyroll Channel will rollout "in key markets around the world" so we assume they'l

Together, they explore their brand-new social lives through play, music, big feelings, and even bigger fun. As an only child, Lu is used to being the centre of her universe.

GARDEN HEROES Garden Heroesreveals the hard work and imagination ordinary people have put into their gardens. This brand-new show seeks out the best amateur gardeners to celebrate the joy of transforming your own space. Each week three contestants will open their gates to our experts - horticulturalist Jimi Blake, garden designer Niall Maxwell and landscape designer Ingrid Swan. The experts will take the tour, examine every leaf and sniff every flower, to evaluate the gardens. How the garden is laid out, how the planting has been done, and what features have been added, are all investigated. But we also want to know what the garden means to the owner. Maybe it’s a place of adventure for kids, perhaps it’s a special space for relaxation, or maybe it’s a fully functional extension of your home, for entertaining and dining. How the garden fits into and enhances your life is an important factor too. Start: Tuesday, 14 November 2023  End: Friday, 22 December 2023 Prime: Tue 21:3

BOKANI DYER TRIO Proud to celebrate his South African heritage, Bokani Dyer has established himself as a rising star on the local jazz scene. After illustrious beginnings, it was in 2016 that he officially founded his own trio with Romy Brauteseth, a popular double bass player from Port Elizabeth, and Sphelelo Mazibuko, who comes from a family of drummers from Newcastle (South Africa). Thanks to the resounding success of their debut album, Neo Native, which has since won awards at the South African Music Awards, the group is turning heads on a global scale (winning praise from the New York Times and the London Jazz News). We find the trio in 2021 at the Festival Jazz & Classical Encounters Vol. 3, during a performance dedicated to Sibongile Khumalo and Andre Petersen, two veterans of the South African scene who were victims of the global health crisis. Bokani combines classical, African and even Latin influences. The trio demonstrates a contagious joie de vivre and is a

Fan favourite series returns to Comedy Central This partially unscripted comedy brings viewers into the squad car as incompetent officers swing into action, answering 911 calls about everything from speeding violations and prostitution to staking out a drug den. Within each episode, viewers catch a "fly on the wall" glimpse of the cops' often politically incorrect opinions, ranging from their personal feelings to professional critiques of their colleagues. It starred Cedric Yarbrough, Niecy Nash, Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, Carlos Alazraqui, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Mary Birdsong, Ian Roberts and Joe Lo Truglio. Local news in your language on SABC+ Through a brief press release, SABC News was spun off onto a multilingual news channel, SABC Lehae. Resigning exclusively on SABC's DTT, the channel is said to cater for non-DStv or paying consumers which resulted in the abrupt cancellation of SABC News. Now the channel is currently streaming on S

Last month, SABC through a small press release on their website had unveiled their second news channel, SABC Lehae . After losing rights to SABC News, the channel would telecast news segments seen on SABC 1-3 alongside archived material with plans to offer live news. Prior to that time, it was reported that the public broadcaster was in production of another TV channel with sources suggesting it to be a general entertainment channel which led to speculation of SABC Encore. Following its demise on DStv, SABC was looking to revive the channel and for 3 years there has yet to be an update on when or if that is still on the cards. They had used it as a pop-up channel on their DTT platforms during that time but other than that nothing until now. Not long ago, a viewer had spotted a channel on DTT known as SABC Variety which we presume was the rumoured channel the public broadcaster was looking to unveil within the first quarter of 2024. It could be a new name for the long-speculated SAB

During the year, Nickelodeon  unveiled a brand new on air look  which saw the brand reprise one of their iconic logos and give it a more iconic feel. This format was duplicated across several platforms with most international territories only able to update their designs by August 2023 . Prior to its international rollout, there had been questions from several consumers regarding Nicktoons, TeenNick and Nick Jr. As these brands had taken longer than anticipated to switchover in these regions with the recent switch spotted across several promos this month. Although, there hasn't been official word on when this will transpire in other territories. Through some November highlights for the brands in Africa, Nicktoons is now listed with a Splat logo while Nick Jr. for the time being remains unscathed unlike what's transpired in France. If I had to guess, Nicktoons could debut the new logo between October and November with Nick Jr. operating with a globalised feed is
