A homegrown digital success story is making a decisive move onto broadcast television, as Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde – Broadcast Edition returns for its third season, premiering on 25 May 2026 on Bravo Africa (DStv 124).
Airing weekly at 9:10 PM across eight episodes, the series continues to position itself at the intersection of lifestyle, fashion and pop culture, led by award-winning presenter and entrepreneur Kim Jayde Robinson.
What began as a YouTube-led format now enters a new phase. Season 3 expands beyond South Africa’s key cities, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, into global creative capitals such as New York City and Los Angeles.
This shift reflects a broader editorial evolution. While earlier seasons leaned heavily into sneaker culture, the new season widens its scope to include deeper conversations around career journeys, cultural influence and global creative leadership.
The guest list reinforces the show’s growing international reach and cultural credibility.
Viewers can expect appearances from:
Karl Kani, widely regarded as a pioneer of urban streetwear
Jae Tips, known for blending fashion with storytelling
Courtnaé Paul, a two-time African breakdancing champion
YoungstaCPT, marking a milestone with his first sneaker collaboration
The mix of guests signals a deliberate move toward conversations that sit at the crossroads of fashion, music, sport and identity.
For Jayde, the move to broadcast carries symbolic weight.
“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,” she says.
“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.”
From the network’s perspective, the alignment is equally strategic.
“Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde is a great fit for Bravo Africa,” says Chrystele Fremaux. “Locally produced and featuring Kim Jayde’s infectious energy and fresh perspective on fashion and creativity, it’s the kind of vibrant, engaging series that will resonate with our audience.”
Season 3 remains independently driven, with Jayde continuing to create, direct and produce the series through KJ Productions PTY Ltd.
Production is led by Director of Photography Yuveer Karunchund, with postproduction handled by Off Script, Visual Jutsu and Just Ad Production.
Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde – Broadcast Edition premieres on Monday, 25 May 2026, airing weekly at 9:10 PM on Bravo Africa (DStv 124), running through to 13 July.
