History
Fox Networks Group announced in September 2016 that it would replace Fox Crime with Fox Life from 3 October. The channel announced 954 hours of new content in an initial phase, which included US series Pitch and Atlanta.[1] The channel launched with the English dub of the Portuguese telenovela Blood Ties.[2] In September 2017, it announced the arrival of Turkish telenovelas, without even announcing a launch date. Reports had emerged that Heartbeat was going to be the first title seen, from 2 October, if the English dub was finished on time in order for the series to be sent to the channel. Shorter titles would be used first as a test, before beginning to air series with a longer length.[3] In November 2017, it launched on Cell C's subscription streaming service Black.
