At MIPCOM, Kanal D International is shining a light on Ruthless City, Love Trap and the brand-new series Azize.

Azize is a love story about a nurse whose family has been destroyed and the kindhearted son of a crime family. Ruthless City is heading into a second season. Love Trap is a hit romantic comedy. Also on offer will be returning series such as Wounded Love and Price of Passion.

The company has already sold its drama series in a wide variety of markets. “Our penetration in all regions continues to grow,” says Kerim Emrah Turna, executive director of Kanal D International. He adds that Turkish dramas have made strong inroads in Central and Eastern Europe and have recently started to make their way into Western Europe, notably in Spain. Other healthy markets are the CIS territories and Latin America. Going forward, furthering the footprint of the Kanal D Drama channel is a top priority, with a European launch coming “in a very short period.”
