Eccho Rights Lands Presales for Wounded Birds

Eccho Rights has notched up presales for the daily Turkish drama Wounded Birds in Europe and Latin America.

Telemundo in Puerto Rico and OBN in Bosnia have become the first two international channels to pick up the series, which marks the next project for the creator of the international hit Elif. The deals were closed before the series began airing on Kanal D in Turkey.

“This is the first ever instance of a Turkish drama securing presales, a landmark for this genre that continues to make dramatic and rapid progress in the industry,” said Fredrik af Malmborg, managing director of Eccho Rights. “The interest in Wounded Birds has been huge ever since we first revealed details of its development. Buyers who have enjoyed many years of top ratings airing Elif are eager for the next hit in their schedules.”
