Eccho Rights expands CEE Presence with new premium drama sales
Apr 09, 2026
Eccho Rights has secured a new round of sales for its premium Turkish drama slate across Central and Eastern Europe, underlining the region’s continued enthusiasm for high end scripted series from Turkey.
The latest deals include the sale of I Am Mother (produced by O3 Medya for Show TV) to Hungary’s MTVA and Georgia’s IMEDI, Golden Boy (produced by OGM Pictures for Star TV) to Slovakia’s Voyo, and Cennet (produced by Surec Film for ATV) to Ukraine’s Bigudi.
Berkin Nalbantli, Sales Executive for CEE and Africa at Eccho Rights, said: “These series each tell a very different story, but they share the same emotional core that CEE audiences respond so strongly to, complex characters navigating betrayal, identity and resilience. Themes like these cut across borders, and right now buyers in the region are very clear about what they are looking for. Turkish drama continues to deliver it.”
The agreements highlight the ongoing demand for Turkish primetime storytelling across CEE, where broadcasters continue to rely on strong character driven dramas to anchor their schedules.
