GoQuest Notches Up Deals for Kuma (The Other Wife)

GoQuest Media has sold the Turkish series Kuma (The Other Wife), its first co-production, into multiple territories.

The Turkish daily drama has been picked up by Antena TV Group’s Happy Channel in Romania, TV2 Media Group in Hungary and Thanthi One in India. The sales come ahead of its premiere in Turkey.

Kuma (The Other Wife) is the story of Ceylan, who runs away from home and meets Karan, a wealthy young businessman. They fall in love and soon are set to be married. But when Ceylan is framed for murder, Karan marries his brother’s widow instead and forces Ceylan to become his kuma, a second wife to bear his children. The drama is produced by Stellar Yapim, with showrunner Inci Gulen Oarr (Elif, Canim Annem, Wounded Birds).

Vivek Lath, managing director at GoQuest Media, commented, “Kuma is our first production developed under the make-to-sell model. Securing early deals while the series is still in post-production and before it has even aired on Turkish television demonstrates that Kuma has hit the mark with what international buyers are looking for in their Turkish programming, underscoring our confidence in its international appeal. Additionally, we have major deals in the contracting stage and will be ready to make another announcement regarding the series in January.”
