Eccho Rights in Exclusive Pact with Turkey’s Ay Yapim

STOCKHOLM/ISTANBUL: Eccho Rights has secured an exclusive package deal with Turkish drama producer Ay Yapim.

The agreement covers five brand-new series launching this season in Turkey. The first series, launched in August, is Wings of Love (Bana Sevmeyi Anlat), which is currently scoring strong ratings on FOX Turkey.

The next series is the highly anticipated Insider (İçerde), which launches today on Show TV. The drama stars Çağatay Ulusoy.

The third series in the package is Brave and Beautiful (Cesur ve Güzel), set to premiere on Star TV later this fall. Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Tuba Büyüküstün star in the lead roles.

Two additional series that are set to launch this winter, as well as two from previous seasons (Mothers and Mothers and Five Siblings) and three feature-length movies (Delibal, Bir Küçük Eylül Meselesi and Dedemin Insanlari) are also included in the overall agreement between Ay Yapim and Eccho Rights.

“We have been working closely with Ay Yapim ever since the global breakthrough of Turkish drama and we are very proud of the contribution that we have made together in pushing the genre forward,” said Fredrik af Malmborg, the managing director of Eccho Rights. “Turkish drama is stronger than ever and Ay Yapim has always been a leader in the genre.”
