Caracol & Inter Medya Co-Pro Leylifer Makes MIPCOM Debut

The drama series Leylifer, which came from a partnership between Caracol Televisión and Inter Medya, is making its debut at MIPCOM.

Alim Yapım is handling production. Inter Medya is distributing the series. The Latin American launch of Leylifer is scheduled for November.

Leylifer tells the story of a young Colombian woman living in Spain whose life takes a turn when, on a trip to Istanbul, her Turkish husband disappears and is later found dead. The 120-episode series stars Cuban-American actress Camila Duarte and Turkish actors Can Verel and Pervin Balcı.

Lisette Osorio, international sales VP at Caracol Televisión, said: “We are proud to step forward with our trendsetting formula, bringing together the powerful narrative of Turkish dramas with our production expertise for the global market. This artistic partnership between two international storytelling power players, Inter Medya and Caracol, has given birth to Leylifer, a masterfully woven story uniting both Colombian and Turkish cultures.”

Beatriz Cea Okan, VP and head of sales and acquisitions at Inter Medya, added: “We are excited to introduce Leylifer, brought to life in collaboration with Caracol Televisión and Alim Yapım, to the European stage. This production, serving as a bridge between Colombia and Turkey, is a truly successful Turkish-Colombian co-production that carries the rich elements inherent to Turkish dramas in its DNA. As the first co-production between Latin America and Turkey, this project bearing the signature of Alim Yapım marks a highly successful starting point for future projects we will bring to life.”

Kadir Doğulu, co-founder of Alim Yapım, added, “I believe this series, which will serve as a beautiful bridge between two cultures, will offer us a valuable experience.”
