Eccho Rights has scored a deal with Middle Eastern media group beIN for two Turkish drama series produced by OGM Pictures, including The Red Room.

Currently airing its second season on Turkey’s TV8, the psychological drama addresses topics such as domestic violence and mental health. The series earns massive ratings each week in Turkey, dominating Friday night prime time.

Also included in the deal, My Home My Destiny features Demet Özdemir and İbrahim Çelikkol, with Engin Öztürk joining in the second season. The series broke viewing records for drama series on TV8 in 2020.

“Turkish drama continues to be hugely important for broadcasters and platforms throughout the Middle East, and we are delighted to be bringing these titles to beIN,” said Handan Özkubat, director of Turkish drama at Eccho Rights. “The range of content, from deep psychology to traditional heartbreaking romance, reflects an increasing diversity in Turkish drama production, which we see continues to be highly attractive to audiences around the world.”
