Inter Medya Takes On TIMS&B’s Bitter Lands

TIMS&B Productions has appointed Inter Medya as international sales partner for the drama Bitter Lands.

Bitter Lands (Bir Zamanlar Çukurova) has been a ratings hit on ATV since its launch in September, scoring over 28 percent share on Thursdays in prime time. The story follows a legendary love that begins in Istanbul during the 1970s and continues in the fertile lands in southern Turkey throughout the trials of evil, ambition and tyranny.

The brand-new series will officially be launched at MIP Cancun, which Inter Medya is the platinum sponsor of. On the first day of the market, Inter Medya will present Bitter Lands for the first time at a screening session.

Can Okan, CEO and founder of Inter Medya, said: “It is the right time to start cooperation with TIMS&B Productions, to drive the success of Turkish drama around the world. I am sure that Bitter Lands, written by Ayfer Tunc, the writer of 1001 Nights and Broken Pieces, will cross the borders with its breathtaking story, not only in our region but worldwide. Of course, we can proudly mention that Bitter Lands was the only Turkish drama, presented at The Wit’s Fresh TV Fiction at MIPCOM.”
