Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde is set to have its broadcast TV debut as it heads to DStv this month.
Bravo Africa has announced that Season 3 of Kickin’ it with Kim Jayde – Broadcast Edition will premiere on the channel on Monday, May 25. The eight-episode talk show will air weekly at 21:10 spotlighting lifestyle and pop culture, hosted by the award-winning TV presenter and entrepreneur, Kim Jayde.
Driven by celebrity interviews – with talent from across the music, TV, film and fashion industries – the show has been earning the TV presenter a growing audience on YouTube with conversations around pop culture, streetwear, creativity and representation.
For the first time, in Season 3, the production extended beyond Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban to also incorporate the creative hubs of New York and Los Angeles as Jayde shifts the series beyond sneaker culture to spotlight inspiring life stories and career journeys from global creative leaders.
Over this season audiences can expect the star-studded lineup of guests, including urban streetwear originator Karl Kani; multi-award-winning designer and cultural tastemaker Jae Tips; two-time African breakdancing champion CourtnaéPaul; and rapper Youngsta CPT, who makes history with his first sneaker collaboration.
“Bravo Africa is where bold personalities and iconic stories live, and I am beyond ecstatic that Kickin’ it with Kim Jayde has now joined the schedule,” shared Jayde.
“What makes this moment so special to me is what it represents – not just for me, but for every young African with a big dream and the audacity to chase it; if you stay true to your vision, you can start on YouTube and end up on a beloved TV channel! Season 3 is the series biggest, most ambitious chapter yet, and I cannot wait for the audience to see it,” she went on.
Chrystele Fremaux, Senior Vice President Programming, EMEA Networks & International Direct-To-Consumer, NBCUniversal, described the show as a great fit for Bravo Africa, adding that this was down to Jayde’s energy and the show’s fresh perspective.
Season 3 of Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde – Broadcast Edition was created, directed, produced, and even self funded by Jayde through her own company, KJ Productions. Cinematography for the season is led by Director of Photography Yuveer Karunchund, with postproduction services provided by Off Script, Visual Jutsu, and Just Ad Production.
The show premieres on Monday, May 25 on Bravo Africa, airing at 21:10 for eight consecutive weeks, until Monday, July 13
