That would make sense, but, directly from the website...

Plasma Bigscreen is an open-source user interface for TV's. Running on top of a Linux distribution, Plasma Bigscreen turns your TV or setup-box into a fully hackable device. A big launcher giving you easy access to any installed apps and skills. Controllable via voice or TV remote.

Using the multi-platform toolkit Qt, the flexible extensions of KDE Frameworks plus the power of Plasma Shell, Plasma Bigscreen is built with technology which feels equally at home on the desktop, mobile devices and TV.

I would highlight the following from that...

But I don't know anything other than what I'm reading on the website, so 🤷. I'll be eagerly waiting to see what happens.
