Sweden’s SVT to Air Turkish Drama Mother

Eccho Rights has sealed a deal with the Swedish public broadcaster SVT to air the Medyapim drama series Mother.

Mother will air in what is now a well-established Turkish drama slot on SVT2. The series is based on the Japanese drama of the same name, originally created in 2010 for Nippon TV.

Fredrik af Malmborg, managing director of Eccho Rights, said: “We first brought Turkish drama to SVT in 2013 with The End and it created a great buzz. Sweden was the first Western European nation to take a bet on Turkish content and we feel proud of our role in creating what is now a regular daily slot for the national broadcaster. Moreover, in the years since that first deal, more and more channels and platforms across Europe have seen the power of having Turkish drama in their schedules.”
