The acclaimed Belizean television drama ‘Noh Matta Wat’ is embarking on its highly anticipated fifth season production. Open auditions will commence tomorrow at the prestigious Bliss Center for the Performing Arts as the creative team seeks to discover new acting talent that embodies authentic Belizean narratives.
Producer Denvor Fairweather revealed the production’s ambitious roadmap, noting that filming will begin shortly with a targeted May premiere date. The series has achieved remarkable international recognition, with its first three seasons having been licensed and broadcast across the Caribbean region through the Caribbean Broadcasting Union since 2008.
‘Our fundamental mission has always been to demonstrate our capacity to tell creatively powerful and socially relevant stories from a distinctly Belizean perspective,’ Fairweather stated. ‘The overwhelming support from Belizean audiences has been instrumental in motivating us to produce this fifth installment.’
Director Steve Berry outlined strategic programming plans to engage both longtime viewers and new audiences. Beginning in February, Channels Five, Seven, and Love will rebroadcast seasons two and three, providing younger viewers who missed the original broadcasts two decades ago with essential background for the upcoming season.
‘This curated rerun will allow a new generation to familiarize themselves with the storyline and character development,’ Berry explained. ‘When we premiere season five in May, the returning main characters will serve as the foundational elements that maintain the series’ continuity and emotional resonance.’
The production team confirmed plans for international streaming distribution following the Caribbean broadcast, further expanding the global footprint of Belize’s entertainment industry and showcasing homegrown talent to worldwide audiences.
