Eccho Rights to Rep Chrysalis

Eccho Rights is set to distribute the new OGM Pictures-produced Turkish drama series Chrysalis on the international market.

Based on the novel Camdaki Kız (The Girl in the Window) by Dr. Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu, Chrysalis tells the story of Nalan, a young woman full of hope who is seeking happiness and love. Despite the difficulties that life throws at her, she remains determined to succeed as she navigates her career and romantic life into adulthood. The series will premiere on Turkey’s Kanal D at the end of March.

Chrysalis stars Burcu Biricik (Fatma, Flames of Desire, Kuzgun) as Nalan, opposite Feyyaz Şerifoğlu as the romantic interest Sedat. The series also features Tamer Levent (Brave and Beautiful, Evermore), Şerıf Erol (Woman, The Teacher), Selma Ergeç (Magnificent Century) and Devrim Yakut (Brave and Beautiful).

Handan Özkubat, director of Turkish drama at Eccho Rights, said: “This is a coming of age story that will feel very familiar to a lot of women around the world, but is particularly relatable given the timing of its release, as the world looks forward to emerging from the sense of captivity that so many of us have experienced during the pandemic.”

Onur Günetanam said: “Nalan is another fascinating character from Dr. Budayıcıoğlu, whose rich experiences as a psychotherapist have given her the insight to create stories that immediately feel relatable, which is why we’ve had such success adapting her writing for TV audiences.”
