STOCKHOLM: Eccho Rights has entered into an output deal with Imedi in Georgia for a package of new drama series from the Turkish producer Ay Yapim.

The deal includes the hit series Insider and Brave and Beautiful, which debuted this fall, as well as the new drama Heart of the City, which will premiere this winter. FiPiCi, based on the best-selling novels of the same name, will join the slate early next year. Also included in the pact are three feature films from Ay Yapim: Delibal, My Grandfather’s People and A Small September Affair.

Fredrik af Malmborg, the managing director at Eccho Rights, said: “This amazing package from Ay Yapim is generating huge interest, and we are currently in intense negotiations in an additional 30 countries around the world. We expect to announce more deals in the coming weeks. The success of Insider is of great interest internationally, with amazing ratings in Turkey that continue to rise each week, while the huge stars Kivanc Tatlitug and Tuba Büyüküstün starring opposite one another in Brave and Beautiful is something that Turkish drama fans all over the world have been waiting for for a long time.”
