STOCKHOLM: Eccho Rights has reached a deal with the German producer Bantry Bay for the first local adaptation of the hit Turkish drama Fatmagul.

Bantry Bay will develop a version for German-speaking Europe. The company previously produced the series Club der roten Bänder (Red Band Society), a remake of the Catalan drama Polseres Vermelles.

Fatmagul has already proved to be a global hit as a ready-made, so we are really pleased to announce the first remake in Germany,” said Fredrik af Malmborg, the managing director at Eccho Rights. “With a first-rate producer at the helm, we can’t wait to see how they approach the script. We have several other remakes in the works around the world for this great series.”
