New Bride on the way to LATAM

New Bride is on its way across LATAM after deals concluded by Eccho Rights with Imagen in Mexico, and the Albavision network covering the whole of Central America. The long running series has been a stand out performer for two years in Turkey, and internationally has scored great ratings particularly in Kazakhstan where New Bride doubled the average share of channel TV7 during its broadcast.

The series - a warm, romantic drama with a light comic side, produced by Sürec Film - has been a huge hit with Turkish viewers, the highest rating scripted show in Saturday prime time throughout it’s first two seasons on Show TV. The third season arrived recently, with New Bride resuming its position at the top of the drama charts.

Nixon Yau Lim, Head of Asia Pacific at Eccho Rights: “There is a great thirst for Turkish content in India. In the past years we have had a number of Turkish script remakes in India but broadcasters are increasingly open to the opportunity to buy an off the shelf product that has already succeeded around the world.”

NEW BRIDE MOVING IN TO NEW TERRITORIES

New Bride, the chart-topping comedy-drama from Turkey has found success in Kazakhstan, while becoming the latest Turkish series to enter the Malaysian market where it will air on NTV 7. Bosnian OBN have also picked up the series for their daily access prime-time slot.

TV 7 in Kazakhstan added New Bride to its line up in October, and has reported a doubling of its average share during its daily prime time broadcast. This has contributed to an overall upward trend in the channel’s performance, which has reported a 36% increase in its total share in the market place this Winter.

“New Bride has been one of the most successful series in Turkey this past year, regularly topping the ratings charts in a fiercely competitive Saturday prime time,” says Handan Özkubat, Head of Eccho Rights’ Istanbul office. “The success in Kazakhstan demonstrates its great appeal as a fun, yet romantic show that appeals to the whole family.”
