Calinos Entertainment is arriving at MIPCOM with buzzy new titles to offer buyers alongside its already extensive catalog.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re bringing a strong lineup of new content,\u201d says F\u0131rat G\u00fclgen, CEO and founder of the company.<\/p>\n

Calinos\u2019 top highlight for the market is Lies After Lies<\/a><\/em>, a Turkish drama about a mother\u2019s struggle to reclaim her child while secrets and deception swirl. It \u201ccarries the high-stakes emotional storytelling that Turkish dramas are known for, but with a very personal and intimate focus on one mother\u2019s struggle,\u201d G\u00fclgen explains.<\/p>\n

\"***Image***\"Of the utmost importance to Calinos is the ability to speak to different audiences and platforms, he notes. To achieve this, the company has also added a slate of Romanian and Arabic series, which \u201cbroaden the cultural scope of our library and offer buyers fresh perspectives and storytelling traditions.\u201d They also meet \u201cthe growing demand for distinctive regional storytelling,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n

These new titles complement the existing Calinos catalog, which is already well-traveled. Earlier this year, Farah<\/a><\/em> reached 84 countries worldwide, while Woman <\/em>and Forbidden Fruit<\/em> were sold into Italy and Alert Squad<\/em> was sent to Japan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes our catalog travel so well is the universality of the themes,\u201d G\u00fclgen explains. \u201cWhether it\u2019s love, family, betrayal or resilience, these are stories people can connect with no matter where they live. Turkish dramas like Lies After Lies <\/em>deliver that emotional intensity audiences love, while our new Romanian and Arabic series bring fresh voices and cultural flavors that still feel relatable on a human level. By combining local authenticity with universal storytelling, we\u2019re able to create shows that resonate across borders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calinos selects the titles it adds to its catalog carefully based on two factors: audience demand and global market trends. \u201cWe closely follow changes in viewer behavior and platform needs across different regions,\u201d G\u00fclgen says. \u201cThis helps us identify content that has strong commercial potential as well as lasting value.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we\u2019re especially interested in high-concept dramas with emotionally compelling themes,\u201d he notes, pointing to Lies After Lies<\/em> as a prime example. \u201cStories about identity, justice and family dynamics tend to perform really well internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n
