Eccho Rights Inks New Deals for I Am Mother

Eccho Rights has signed new sales deals for I Am Mother with broadcasters in the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia.

The Turkish drama was acquired by Univision for the U.S. Hispanic market, Teleamazonas in Ecuador, Kanal D in Romania, TV3 in Lithuania, TV Klan in Albania and Jibek Joly in Kazakhstan.

The series centers on a woman in an unhappy marriage, whose husband is abusive. When she gives birth to their third child, she realizes she cannot take care of all the children on her own, so she sends her 3-year-old son to Istanbul to stay with her mother. On the journey to Istanbul, however, her son goes missing. After three years of searching, she happens to run into him on a trip, but he now goes by a different name and doesn’t recognize her.

The title previously sold to broadcasters in Spain, Chile, Colombia, Panama, Israel, North Macedonia and MENA.

“I Am Mother offers a rich, multi-layered story of a woman rebuilding her life after trauma, and the ways in which our past continues to shape our future—a theme that has proved universally relatable,” said Handan Özkubat, director of Turkish drama at Eccho Rights. “We’re delighted to see so many international partners connecting with this powerful and authentic narrative.”
