Golden Boy Heads to More Territories

Eccho Rights has notched up a string of sales ahead of MIPTV for the hit Turkish drama Golden Boy with broadcasters across CEE, Central Asia and Africa.

The show has been licensed in Albania (TV Klan), Hungary (TV2), Lithuania (LNK), Uzbekistan (Sevimli), South Africa and Namibia (eTV). In all, the drama series has now sold to more than 40 countries worldwide.

Golden Boy, produced by OGM Pictures for Star TV, is a classic family drama that tells the story of two sisters, Seyran and Suna, whose paths cross with golden boy Ferit. The two sisters’ lives change forever when Ferit decides to marry Seyran instead of Suna.

Berkin Nalbantli, sales and acquisitions executive for CEE and Africa at Eccho Rights, said: “While Turkish drama has continued to perform strongly on the global stage throughout the pandemic years, Golden Boy is performing at a level not seen for many years, both in terms of domestic ratings and also international sales. It is the most attractive proposition in the market today, and it continues to grow its strong reputation week by week.”
