Prisoners Of Love Season 2 Returns To Telemundo Africa And Season 7 Of Lord Of The Skies Scrapped Possibly Due To Covid-19

Bad news guys, Lord Of The Skies final season has been delayed just like season 6 was delayed back in December 2019 for repeats of Christmas Miracles.

Now the seventh and final season is being delayed with a repeat of Prisoners of Love season two. The worst part is Telemundo supplied highlights for the final season of the show. It might have something to the lockdown currently being implemented in Africa even Star Life had to pause airing on most of their shows with a portion of those series making their way back to the screens with the rest coming back only when the lockdown has eased up a bit.

In the final season of Lord Of The Skies, To avoid falling into the hands of the American Justice, Amado Leal "El Águila Azul", now Amado Casillas (Matías Novoa), has turned himself in to Bernardo Castillo (José Sedek), Secretary of Security of Mexico. The DEA commissioner, Joe Navarro (Guy Ecker), has made every attempt to achieve his extradition. What he does not know is that Baltazar Ojeda (Eduardo Santamarina), a CIA Agent, has the plan to eliminate Amado before, since he is the only one who can prove that within the organization in which both worked together, there is a scheme of corruption and murky management that endangers its existence within it and its freedom. He has already been transferred to a jail on the outskirts of the State of Mexico and is about to be taken to the airport, under strict security measures when the Casillas cartel tries to rescue him and Baltazar Ojeda himself tries to kill him. In the midst of this tension and in parallel, under the supervision of Doña Alba (Lisa Owen) and a specialized doctor, they try a risky procedure to revive Aurelio (Rafael Amaya). That is what it would have been about if it aired.

Now that it's not happening yet let's give you some details regarding Prisoners of Love season two. The second season tells the story of the Centauro revenge against Yolanda, his former lover and Gerardo, the detective who sought to bring him to justice. After running away from the authorities for two years, tired of being constantly harassed by the police and the bloody war between his cartel and his rivals, Centauro faked his death along with his second biological son. In this way he will be able to rebuild his empire without the persecution of the police and, moreover, will allow him to execute his plan of revenge towards Yolanda. Listening to the news of the alleged deaths, Yolanda and her daughter Cristina, as well as Gerardo and his adopted son, Gato, manage to return to Mexico from Canada, where they have lived under the Witness Protection Program. However, it will not be an easy return for Yolanda, since Centaurus will use all his sagacity and power to destroy her and her loved ones in their thirst for revenge.

Telemundo Africa's Indefinite And Possibly Scrapped Programming Plans

Back in 2017, Telemundo International announced that the Turkish telenovela Örlene Kadar would make their way to viewer's screens in Latin America and Africa from a year later so far the series only made its way to Latin America.

This was Engin Akyürek comeback to acting after Kara Para Aşk. Ölene Kadar which was retitled into Hasta La Muerte (Until Death) with Akyürek taking up the lead role of Dr. Dağhan Soysür who was convicted for murdering a business tycoon Sezai Karali when he was a 24-year old medical-grad pursuing his specialization. Due to this false accusation, Dağhan lost his youth, his career, the woman he loved and his unborn child. 11 years later, Dağhan is called upon by a young lawyer Selvi Nardan (Fahriye Evcen Özçivit), who claims that she knows he is innocent and can prove in court that Dağhan never committed the murder for which he has served more than a decade in confinement.

Though the series had a strong theme and direction, and Akyürek's romantic pair with Fahriye was making waves internationally, the series failed to impress the local Turkish audience, and due to low ratings, the series had its finale at its 13th episode. It was produced by TIMS and written by Elif Usman anf Sevgi Yilmaz. The first four episodes were directed by Umur Turagay and the rest by Feride Kaytan in January 2017.

It's failure to attract it's viewers is not the cause for the delay or possible termination of the show in Africa. Even though the series shares similarities to Telemundo's El Rostro De La Venganza (The Face Of Destiny). It shows that Telemundo which is now flooded with repeats during the daytime is working on a way to reduce them or carefully go unnoticed. Eva, owned by AMC International has the long running American series, Bold And The Beautiful from CBS in its own slot with Mexican, Colombian and Argentine telenovelas filling up two or less slots.

Telemundo in the United States is also airing telenovelas produced not only produced in Mexico and Colombia but also Turkey, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia just to name a few. Even though they're being fed repeats to a lesser extent they're still dominating the market since that channel is also used for other entertainment unlike international markets.

There have been signs that Telemundo Africa is not only for Mexican and Colombian telenovelas. Back in 2017, the channel aired the Argentine telenovela Gavilanes which doesn't make sense to me at all since they brought Tierra De Reyes and both these shows are based on the 2003 telenovela, Pasíon De Gavilanes. Why not source out something different from that market.

Telemundo international also picked up the Kara Para Ask (Black Money Love) and Muhtesem Yüzyil (The Sultan) sometime ago and Latin America managed to air one of them so far. Which begs the question on what Telemundo Africa has planned once El Señor Del Los Cielos (Lord Of The Skies) and Sin Seños Si Hay Paraiso (The Way To Paradise) concludes. They'll more likely air biographies from their studios, El Chema, El Recluso and telenovelas from Imagen Television.

Their super series alone fill up most of the airtime now that most of them can't get above 100 episodes per season and Telemundo in Africa uses a 7 day a week format in a 2 hour timeslot. A series running in that pace can take up 3 months. Judging by this format it's possible that reruns will air in the premiere slot.

If you had to tally this channel's lineup I'd say they're more secure with daytime shows as opposed to night time. They are stronger in that area and are able to get newer programming on the daytime slot but the super series is the downfall. At the moment there's less to no repetition in that area but it's likely to occur in that area very soon and Telemundo will have to find a way out to keep viewers entertained if they hope to be around that long in Africa.

Star Life Will Bring In Two New Telenovelas: Nazar And Naamkarann

Covid-19 has affected tv channels as you already know Star Life was airing only repeats during the month of April due to the lockdown that occurred in South Africa and India with most of their plans put in jeopardy.

Since April, the channel has only been filled with repeats of Chasing My Heart, Forever Yours and The Crossroads. The channel recieved major backlash from fans and forced others to temporarily distance themselves from the channel.

Before the lockdown was implemented, Star Life was set to introduce two new Hindi telenovelas which were Nazaar and Naamkarann to the channel.

Nazaar (The Evil Eye) follows the life of an evil Daayan, who worship the mother goddesses Kali and Durga. But as a devil, she was cursed by gods and captured into the human world. Jatinder Bhardwaj and Ankur Nayyar take up the lead role with Monalisa set to follow.

Naamkaran (My Identity) is the story of an illegitimate 11 year old girl, Avni Ayesha, who tries to give herself a legitimate identity despite cruel obstacles by her own grandmother Dayawanti Mehta. Aditi Rathore and Zain Imam take up the lead role with Reema Lagoo set to follow.

Both these series were originally set to air weekdays from 21:00 CAT but now the release dates for these shows are up in the air. The only thing I can confirm is there's still plans to air the show on the channel.
