Eccho Rights Sells Scandi Dramas into Bulgaria 

Eccho Rights has sealed a deal with bTV Media Group in Bulgaria for a package of series hailing from Sweden, including the thriller Conspiracy of Silence.

Directed by Charlotte Brändström (Outlander), Conspiracy of Silence centers on a former weapons dealer forced into exile who returns to Sweden on a quest for vengeance. The series, produced by Brain Academy, premiered on Viaplay in September 2018.

Also included in the package are the long-running crime series Maria Wern and female-led drama Honour. With a second season already in production, Honour broke viewing records for the Scandinavian streaming platform Viaplay when it premiered last August. It follows four talented female lawyers defending those who are often overlooked by society: victims of abuse or woman that were forced into prostitution. One of the most successful Swedish crime series, Maria Wern tells the story of a big city detective who starts a new in the quiet and idyllic island of Gotland to get away from personal tragedies.

Nicola Söderlund, managing partner at Eccho Rights, added: “Scandi drama continues to enjoy enormous popularity around the world and we are very content to bring these outstanding titles to Bulgaria. The Balkans are very interesting for us not only in terms of sales but also looking at the developments in original programming from the region.”
