Nippon TV’s My Son to See Turkish Remake

Nippon TV has done its third format deal with the Turkish production companies MF Yapim and MEDYAPIM, which will be adapting the Japanese drama My Son.

The companies previously partnered to remake Mother (Anne in Turkey) and Woman—My Life for My Children (Kadin in Turkey). The new agreement marks Nippon TV’s first format sale into a different country for My Son, which looks at what it takes to become a mother amidst struggles and pain.

“To be announcing that our scripted formats are being produced for the third time in Turkey with MF Yapim is a great thrill for Nippon TV,” commented Atsushi Hatayama, the president of international business development for Nippon TV. “This kind of partnership is a first for us and we are honored to have the esteemed MF Yapim producing our drama series. We believe one of the key factors of our dramas’ strengths lies in the portrayal of female characters living strongly in the modern world. My Son is another example of our finest dramas utilizing that very theme.”

“Following Mother and Woman, this is the third deal that we realized with Nippon TV. Anne (Mother) and Kadin (Woman) has been very successful in Turkey and we believe My Son will achieve the same success too. We are very happy with our cooperation with Nippon TV and hoping to achieve the same success in each and every work we do together.”
