L.A. Screenings Spotlight: Kanal D

LOS ANGELES: The strong international interest in Turkish dramas has led Kanal D to head to the L.A. Screenings for the first time.

There, the company is presenting Kuzey Güney, a modern-day drama, and Time Goes By…, a period drama. “Both series highlight hopes, passions, love stories, family dramas, communities and relationships,” says Ozlem Ozsumbul, the head of sales and acquisitions at Kanal D. “Having all these universal elements, we believe that these series will be very appealing to everyone around the world attending the market.”

Kanal D is also presenting My Partner Knows, which is already a hit in Turkey. The format rights have been sold to Romania and Lebanon, “and there are several more deals to be confirmed soon,” says Ozsumbul.
