DISCOP Johannesburg Spotlight: Inter Medya

The Turkish drama The Pit is set against the backdrop of Çukur, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Istanbul that is ruled by the Koçova family, and the title is on offer from Inter Medya.

Endless Love, meanwhile, tells the story of a man from a middle-class family and a woman from an affluent part of the same neighborhood. It follows as their love tries to triumph over their differences. “The production quality of our titles is world-class, and the strength of their stories is quite well-accepted worldwide,” says Can Okan, the founder and CEO of Inter Medya. “We believe another strength of the Turkish dramas in our catalog is that they are fast-moving and very exciting.”

He adds, “Turkish series are extremely popular everywhere because of their high production qualities, intriguing and dramatic storylines, and well-known cast members.”

In the way of formats, a highlight is Exathlon, a competitive reality show that features the athletic battle between two teams.
