CANNES: The cast and producers of the new drama series The Last Emperor, which MISTCO is presenting to the international market, will take part in a special screening on the first day of MIPTV.

The period piece tells the story of the Ottoman emperor Abdulhamid Han and stars Bülent Inal (Under the Linden Trees, Tatar Ramazan) and Özlem Conker (Black Rose). “There is no doubt that it will be a new phenomenon from TRT’s library in 2017,” says Aysegul Tuzun, the VP of sales and marketing at MISTCO, which represents programming from TRT.

The drama Resurrection (Ertugrul) has been drawing high ratings for three seasons in Turkey, and MISTCO reports interest in the series from a varied range of broadcasters globally. “Resurrection (Ertugrul) has been receiving interest from all over the world from day one,” says Tuzun.

In addition, there are a number of miniseries from the TRT catalog that will be on offer from MISTCO, among them The Legend of Destan.
