KDE Plasma 5.26 desktop BETA is now out for testing and the final release is due on Oct 6, 2022.
Plasma 5.26 brings a huge set of new features across the Plasma shell, widgets, Kwin and other desktop components. In the announcement, the team also introduces a new Plasma user interface (UI) for large screen displays such as Smar TVs - called "Plasma Bigscreen".

KDE releases TV interface: “Bigscreen”
The Beta release of KDE Plasma version 5.26 was just released. And it has some really fun stuff — and big stuff — in there. Far more than a “5.26” point release would otherwise suggest.
The biggest, in my opinion, being their new “Bigscreen” interface, intended for use when connected to a TV.
