Queen Of The South Season 2 Coming Soon To Telemundo Africa


As predicted earlier in the year, Queen Of The South 2 will air on Telemundo. The first season debuted back in 2014 a year after the channel made its debut in the market.

This season revolves around Teresa Mendoza nine years after the events of the first season. Hidden from the rest of the world, Teresa now lives an idyllic existence in Italian Tuscany, but the kidnapping of her daughter forces her to reintroduce herself into the underworld of drug trafficking and once again confront her old enemies and the past she tried to leave behind.

Telemundo did air a rerun of the first season back in 2019 if I remember correctly for those who have forgotten about the show or haven't seen it yet.

According to sources, it will air back-to-back meaning season 3 but there's no official confirmation of that as yet. That's not the only development in April but the channel will also air the court drama, Case Closed.

Queen Of The South 2 replaces Close Enemies 2 on Monday 19 April at 22:00 CAT/21:00 WAT/23:00 EAT

Kamer 309 Coming Soon To eExtra


2021 promises to be a productive year for the Afrikaans block Kuiertyd on eExtra. They will be introducing a Turkish telenovela to the lineup called Kamer 309 (No. 309).

Out of pure coincidence, Onur and Lale meet at the same place due to a blind date that is arranged by their mothers. And during the next morning they find themselves in the same bed. The series stars Demet Özdemir and Furkan Palalı.

The series made its debut on the Turkish FOX Channel on 1 June 2016, and concluded on 25 October 2017.

The series will air later in April replacing Begeertes my guess would be either 6 or 12 April. There's no news yet on the exact date and timeslot but hopefully they'll confirm very soon.
