ERT1 scripted programming lineup for October 2026

Overview

ERT1 has announced a new lineup of scripted programming for October 2026, featuring a mix of comedy and drama. The schedule includes the comedy series ‘TV Land’ and the survival drama ‘Avrio’, both set to debut on the weekend of October 10 and 11.

A central component of the new season is the daily series ‘Koutsoupies’, which premiered on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 19:00. Conceived by Dina Kassou and directed by Vicky Manoli, the series follows Athenians who move to a small, depopulating village in Thessaly to revitalize the area. The story centers on the village of Koutsoupies, which faces the threat of school closure. The arrival of newcomers has created tension, notably with local resident Rina, and recent plot developments include the disappearance of children Vasia and Annoula, who were later found to have organized an escape to Athens.

Regarding the comedy ‘TV Land’, written by Giorgos V. Feidas and directed by Alexandros Rellous, an avant-première was held on Wednesday, October 7, at a central cinema in Athens. Attended by journalists, actors, and production staff, the event previewed the series, which explores the behind-the-scenes chaos of R.E.M. Productions as they struggle to complete episode 1284 of a soap opera titled ‘Forbidden Eden’. ‘TV Land’ is scheduled to premiere on ERT1 on Saturday, October 10, at 20:00.
