Eccho Rights Sends Legacy to Spain

Eccho Rights has concluded a deal with the Spanish media group Atresmedia for the Turkish drama series Legacy.

Atresmedia’s licensing of the series marks the latest Turkish drama acquisition for the broadcast group, which has had success with Turkish series on the thematic channel Nova and on the flagship free-to-air channel Antena 3. A daily series for Kanal 7 in Turkey, Legacy is produced by Karamel Yapim.

Legacy tells the story of little Yusuf and his aunt Seher, who finds herself fighting to foster the boy after he is orphaned. Seher faces resistance from Yusuf’s late father’s family but encounters an unexpected romance as emotions rise in the battle to protect her family’s legacy. A second season of the series is in the works.

Barbora Suster, head of LatAm and Iberia at Eccho Rights, said: “Spain has really taken to Turkish drama in the past few years and audiences recognize the strength of the writing, acting and production that makes these some of the most successful imports we see anywhere on Spanish TV at the moment.”
