Eccho Rights Picks Up Turkish Drama Kara

Eccho Rights has acquired the international distribution rights for the new Turkish drama Kara (Arak), from Most Production.

The series follows Kara, a young thief from the slums of Istanbul. He infiltrates the life of Zeynep, whose family he once robbed, leading to a tumultuous journey filled with love and vengeance.

The cast includes İlker Kaleli (The End, Lost City, Secrets, For My Son) and Öykü Karayel (Kuzey Güney, Black Money Love, Magnificent Century Kösem, Ethos).

“We’re delighted to reveal the latest fascinating addition to our catalog, Kara, and to be partnering with Most Production once again,” said Handan Özkubat, director of Turkish drama at Eccho Rights. “Kara portrays the journey of its characters through love’s highs and revenge’s lows, while facing the harsh truths and the relentless dilemmas of life, and navigating its many obstacles by embodying the richness of Turkish storytelling at its finest. Everything from the storytelling to the direction and the cast leads Kara to be an international hit, and we are happy to bring such a compelling story to the global stage.”

Murat Can Oğuz, co-owner of Most Production and the producer of Kara, added, “We’re so pleased to continue our partnership with Eccho Rights with our new drama Kara, a story about two individuals from starkly different worlds, connected by a single, transformative night. As the creative team behind the project, we have worked tirelessly to bring this story to life. With an exceptionally talented cast, led by İlker Kaleli and Öykü Karayel, and guided by a visionary director, Ender Mıhlar, we have strived to create a narrative that is not only enthralling but also profoundly resonant. I am confident that this gripping series will enjoy high ratings in its original hometown, Turkey, and its evergreen themes and performances will appeal to international audiences too.”
