New Afrikaans-dubbed Turkish telenovela Maanligsprokie premiered on e.tv on Wednesday 22 April 2026 at 16h00, like a ghost in the machine.
We didn't feature it at the time because it was a late addition to e.tv's schedule and we weren't informed that it was happening.
Fast forward to now and we have the details, with teasers for both April and May.

What's what with who?
The story centres round Mahir, a police inspector who returns to Denizli 20 years after his father’s assassination.
Driven by a deep need for justice, he is determined to bring down Kürsat Kilimci, the powerful man responsible for his father’s death.
Focused on his mission, Mahir’s world is turned upside down when he encounters the captivating Canfeza.
Their connection is immediate and undeniable, drawing Mahir into a romance he never expected. What he does not know is that Canfeza is the daughter of the very man he has sworn to destroy.
As love begins to blossom, Mahir finds himself caught between his heart and his duty, setting the stage for an emotional and dangerous conflict.
As Mahir watches Kürsat closely, he believes his moment for revenge will come during a family wedding. However, what unfolds on that day is far from what he anticipates.
