Behind The Veil renewed for fourth season
Türkiye’s Kanal 7 has commissioned a fourth season of hit daily drama series Behind the Veil (Gelin), which will return to screens after the summer with the same cast and production team that have driven the show's remarkable success.
Produced by Film Yapim Merkezi, Behind the Veil is a powerful contemporary drama exposing the hidden emotional battles inside a marriage of convenience. Since its debut, the series has proved to be one of the most successful dramas of its type on Turkish television, breaking a number of viewing records for Kanal 7 and regularly scoring higher ratings than some of the biggest series on Turkiye's major channels - particularly striking achievement for a show produced on a modest budget for a smaller broadcaster.
Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights, said: "Behind the Veil has been one of those rare projects that has exceeded expectations at every turn. To see it now heading into a fourth season, with its cast and creative team intact, is a testament to the strength of the storytelling and the loyalty of its audience. We are delighted to continue this journey and look forward to bringing even more of the world to this extraordinary series."

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.

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.
