kykNET cancels Getroud met Rugby after 14 years
kykNET has cancelled the Afrikaans soap Getroud met Rugby. The final episode will air on 30 September 2022.
The channel gave Overberg Productions a six-month contract extension to wrap up characters and storylines for an additional 55 episodes, with the filming of the last season that will start in July 2022.
