Brave and Beautiful breaks new ground in the Far East
Mar 28, 2018
Already sold to over 60 territories around the world, NTV7 (Malaysia), HTV7 (Vietnam) and ABS CBN (Philippines) become the latest channels to pick up what is fast becoming one of Eccho Rights' top selling Turkish Dramas of all time.
Brave and Beautiful also recently debuted on Mega in Chile, and has been scoring an average 25% share, with double the number of viewers of its closest rival in the afternoon slot.
“Brave and Beautiful has fulfilled every expectation we had from a powerful producer like Ay Yapim, and the amazing acting talent they assembled,” says Fredrik af Malmborg, Managing Director of International distributor Eccho Rights. “As well as our traditionally successful Turkish Drama markets like LATAM and MENA, this series has also opened doors to a number of newer regions for us.”
On the Asian sales Nixon Yau Lim, Head of Asia Pacific at Eccho Rights says: “The Philippines is the latest country betting on Turkish Drama after seeing a growing interest across the region, in Vietnam and Malaysia particularly. This has even worked its way up to China where we have just completed our first deal for a Turkish feature film, as new channels are eager to test out this hugely successful genre.” Delibal, a 2015 romantic feature length movie also from Ay Yapim, has been picked up by BlueMedia Times for broadcast in China.

Eccho Rights to represent The Trio
We are hugely excited to announce the latest title in our Western European Drama line-up: The Trio. Currently in production for SkyShowtime, the six-part romantic drama is based on the literary phenomenon Trion, by Swedish novelist Johanna Hedman. The best-selling book took the international publishing world by storm, and we are now looking forward to the television adaptation doing the same! The Trio is produced by SF Studios in association with Night Train Media, SkyShowtime, SVT and Film in Stockholm.
The series stars August Wittgenstein (The Crown), Felix Sandman (Quick Sand), Seth Manteus (Cherries) and Rebecka Harp.
The Trio is a story about love, sex and passion – a reflection of the meaning of life and the relentless passage of time.
When middle-aged Hugo is approached by the daughter of both of his childhood loves, he is thrown back twenty years in time. Hugo is about to embark on his first years at university and has moved to Stockholm to become a resident of the Stiller family. This is where he meets Thora, the daughter of the house. This is also where he meets August, Thora's constant companion and occasional lover.
This is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship, of a whirlwind love affair, of the realisation nothing will ever be the same again. This is also the reason why Hugo never truly moved on. Will he dare to reclaim everything he has lost?
