Golden Boy Sells into the Nordics

Eccho Rights has licensed the Turkish drama series Golden Boy to broadcasters in Sweden and Finland.

Eccho Rights touts this as the first Turkish drama picked up by a commercial broadcaster in Sweden, with TV4 acquiring the rights for its TV4GOLD and Sjuan linear channels, as well as streaming on CMore and TV4 Play.

It also says the deal with MTV Oy represents the first time a Turkish series has been licensed by a Finnish broadcast group, with Golden Boy to stream on CMore and Katsomo in Finland.

Golden Boy has been a hit on Turkey’s Star TV since launching in September 2022. The series has been licensed to more than 35 territories worldwide in less than six months since its debut.

Melis Hamacioglu, director of digital media acquisition and content sales for MENA, India, Pakistan and Western Europe at Eccho Rights, said: “We are thrilled to once again be at the forefront of bringing Turkish drama to new audiences. Golden Boy’s extraordinary success so far makes it an easy choice for broadcasters looking to test something new.”
