Eccho Rights launches Latest Kanal 7 Drama, Zerhun
Apr 16, 2026
Eccho Rights has secured international distribution rights to Zerhun, the new daily drama produced by Sincar Medya Group for Turkish broadcaster Kanal 7. The series is currently on-air in Turkey.
Zerhun marks the latest chapter in the long running collaboration between Eccho Rights and Kanal 7, a partnership that has delivered multiple global successes. Previous titles include Legacy, Winds of Love, and Behind the Veil, the latter continuing to hold its position as the highest rating daily drama series ever broadcast in Turkey, and renewed for its fourth season earlier this week.
Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights, said:“We are proud to continue our successful cooperation with Kanal 7 by representing Zerhun. Kanal 7 has consistently demonstrated its ability to produce daily dramas that resonate deeply with audiences both in Turkey and internationally. Zerhun is another powerful example of their expertise in delivering emotionally rich, highly engaging storytelling that travels across borders.”
At the centre of Zerhun is a sweeping, emotionally charged story of love torn apart by manipulation and power. Eight years ago, Zerhun and Yaman defied their influential families to marry for love, only for Yaman’s father, Şeyhmuz, to frame Zerhun as a traitor and force them apart. Believing the lies, Yaman abandoned her, unaware that she was carrying his child. Zerhun vanished and raised their daughter, Hayat, in secret. Years later, a deathbed confession exposes the truth, drawing Zerhun back into the family’s imposing mansion when Yaman demands a DNA test. A sudden accident leaves him with amnesia, Hayat is taken into the dynasty’s care, and Zerhun returns as an employee to remain close to her daughter. As memories resurface and internal rivalries intensify, Zerhun’s battle shifts from reclaiming lost love to protecting her child from a family built on pride, power and control.

Eccho Rights secures first presale for the Hatmaker with MBC group
Eccho Rights has closed the first international deal for The Hatmaker (Şapkacı Kadınlar), O3 Medya’s new period drama starring Pınar Deniz and Selahattin Paşalı. MBC Group has acquired the series for its streaming platform Shahid and its linear channels across MENA.
The presale was concluded during the first day of MIPCOM this week, before filming on the project begins in November.
Set in the early 1920s, as Türkiye undergoes profound change, the series follows Ayşe, whose happy family life is shattered by a brutal attack. In its aftermath, her husband Rıza abandons her. Five years later, hardship drives her to İzmir with her children, sister and mother-in-law. There, in the ruins left by the Great Fire, an unlikely bond with an elderly woman introduces her to the craft of hatmaking. It offers Ayşe the chance to build a livelihood for herself and for other women. But İzmir also brings Ayşe face to face with Rıza, now married into one of the city’s most powerful families. As Ayşe fights to build a future on her own terms, the husband who once abandoned her becomes a powerful threat to her independence.
Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights, said: “To have The Hatmaker secured by MBC just as opened the stand in Cannes says everything about the appetite for this series. MBC is a long-standing partner who knows their audiences extremely well, and they recognised straight away the strength of Ayşe’s story and the star power of Pınar Deniz and Selahattin Paşalı. There is no better way to open MIPCOM.”
Saner Ayar, Founder and Managing Partner at O3 Medya, said: “For buyers to commit to The Hatmaker before production has begun is a real vote of confidence in the story, our cast and our team. We are delighted to be off to such a strong start with Eccho Rights.”
The Hatmaker is created and written by Necati Şahin, directed by Ömür Atay and produced by Suzan Sümeli for O3 Medya.

Eccho Rights launches Kanal 7 daily drama Asiye at MIPCOM
Eccho Rights will launch Asiye, the new daily drama produced by Kino Film Productions for Turkish broadcaster Kanal 7, at MIPCOM in Cannes. Presales open ahead of the series’ November premiere on Kanal 7, with filming due to begin on 17 October.
Asiye is the latest title from Eccho Rights’ long-running partnership with Kanal 7, which has already delivered international successes including Legacy, Winds of Love and Behind the Veil, the highest-rating daily drama ever broadcast in Turkey and now in its fourth season.
Seven years ago, Asiye lost her husband, her newborn son and her freedom in a single day. Now released from prison, she saves a drowning boy at the gates of one of Istanbul’s most powerful families, not knowing he is the son she believed she would never see again.
The series is directed by Taner Tunç and Nuh Şen, who have both directed Kanal 7’s long-running hit Legacy. Esengül Aypek stars as Asiye, with Ferhat Işıktaş as İlyas.
Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights, said: “Kanal 7 knows exactly how to make daily drama that travels, and Asiye has everything that made Behind the Veil and Legacy such international successes: a mother’s love, a buried truth and a powerful family with everything to hide. With a directing team that knows this genre inside out, MIPCOM is the perfect chance for buyers to secure this highly anticipated series before it airs.”
