Production history
''Binnelanders'' began as a weekly one-hour drama, the first episode of which was broadcast only in Afrikaans on 13 October 2005 on both M-Net and kykNET. Halfway through the show's second season, it became a daily half-hour soap opera, and English subtitles were introduced. It was broadcast directly after Egoli on M-Net in the 18:30 time slot. Programming shifted to the 18:00 timeslot in preparation for the conclusion of Egoli, after which Binnelanders would extend over a one-hour period, consuming both time slots. The title of the show was changed to ''Binneland Sub Judice'', and a new legal firm, Rossouw, Paulse and Knight Incorporated (RPK), was added to the storyline, along with new characters. For the seventh season, the show was again renamed, this time to simply ''Binneland''. The legal angle of the series was dropped, and the show was reverted to a half-hour time slot. ''Binneland'' was removed from M-Net in early 2011 and the name was changed back to ''Binnelanders'' and is now broadcast exclusively on kykNET, weekdays 19:30.Opening sequence
The theme song used in ''Binnelanders'' was written and performed by Afrikaans artist Jak de Priester. The title sequence was changed for ''Sub Judice'', but later reverted to the original, with a few modifications.Main cast
