Eccho Rights to Rep Sürec Film’s Liar

Eccho Rights has secured distribution rights for the Turkish drama series Liar, produced by Sürec Film.

The series, which airs on Show TV in Turkey, centers on a teacher named Deniz, who is asked out on a date by Mehmet Emir, the father of one of her students. The day after the date, Deniz and Mehmet come away with starkly different feelings and versions of the events of the night before.

Directed by Hülya Gezer, the series stars Burçin Terzioğlu (The Protector, For My Son) and Salih Bademci (The Red Room, Evermore).

The script for Liar was licensed through All3Media International. The Turkish version is the sixth remake of the series.

Handan Özkubat, director of Turkish drama at Eccho Rights, said: “This is an extraordinary series that grapples with tough issues in an unexpected way, asking difficult moral questions of the viewer.”

Stephen Driscoll, executive VP of EMEA at All3Media International, added: “We are delighted to see our hit scripted format Liar, written by Harry and Jack Williams, Two Bros Pictures, now adapted for Turkish audiences by Sürec Film. This is now the sixth local adaption of this scripted format we have successfully brought to market, and we hope it is a great success for Show TV Turkey and beyond through Eccho Rights.”
