FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 17, 2025
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Aeverine Zinn Digital Media Group today announced changes to the Season 9 premiere of its hit Caprice & Ella, citing unfolding events in Ava Zinn’s ASL II course at Purdue Fort Wayne and long-standing staffing limitations at AZDMG.
The two-hour conclusion of Season 8’s explosive finale—originally slated for October 2, 2025—will now air on January 9, 2026. The second episode, another two-hour episode, of which is currently in production, “Flagged by Design: The Trans Woman Who Stood Against Unfair Injustice in the ASL II Course,” moves from its October 3, 2025 slot to January 16, 2026.
Fans have voiced strong disappointment—using and across social media—and are calling for a rollback of the revised schedule. AZDMG acknowledges their frustration but stresses that the delay is necessary to integrate real-time developments from Ava’s formal complaint against systemic failures in her ASL II class, and to cope with a production team that has remained understaffed since 1999.
“We understand how eagerly viewers anticipate every episode,” said the AZDMG editorial team. “But Caprice & Ella isn’t just entertainment—this season is a living record of institutional barriers in real time. Rushing it would sacrifice accuracy, fairness, and the very evidence we promised to deliver.”
AZDMG thanks its audience for their patience and pledges to revisit the premiere dates only if the academic situation or staffing outlook materially changes. Caprice & Ella will resume its regular airing rhythm—to be Fridays at 7 a.m. Eastern/4 a.m. Pacific on Ava Zinn’s YouTube channel and Fridays at 9 am Eastern/6 am Pacific on Caprice & Ella’s YouTube channel and regional affiliates—beginning January 9, 2026.
