E.tv brings adult content back

JOHANNESBURG — No, it’s not Emanuel and you won’t have to wait till midnight to watch it. But the channel promises it will be sexy, risqué, with nudity, a pushed envelope – all anchored in stories.

The new show is going to play at 9:30pm daily and there will be prostitution, a brothel, a man sleeping with a forbidden woman and Zamani Mbatha’s abs – all the time.

eTV’s Helga Palmer says they have listened to their audience, who want more local content. The channel says they sent a brief out and asked production houses to go as deep and as wide as possible with the storyline.

The Black Door launchED on the channel on Friday and has an age restriction of 16. The show’s executive producer, Blackbrain’s Mpumelelo Nhlapo, says they are definitely pushing the boundaries with the show.

It is centred around a man who finds out his brother, a deacon, was a prostitute on the side.

Zamani, who plays Khaya, starts walking in his brother’s footsteps and essentially living his life, in more ways than one. The Black Door has been commissioned for 260 episodes and will air from Monday to Friday.
