Murder Squad joins Eccho Rights lineup
Jun 19, 2017
Eccho Rights has added Czech series Murder Squad (Mordparta) to its lineup, following a deal with broadcaster Prima. A premium crime drama, following the lives both private and professional of a team of investigators in Prague, Murder Squad was a great hit when it aired last year, scoring a 17% share for Prima. A second season just finished its run in the Czech Republic.
“We are very excited to welcome this series to our catalogue,” says Barbora Susterova, Head of Eccho Rights’ Madrid Office who brought the deal to the international distributor. “Demand for quality crime drama remains high, but it is the human elements of this series make it an even more interesting proposition for buyers looking for something a little different.”
Starring some of the Czech Republic’s top actors, including Jiří Bartoška and Markéta Plánková, Murder Squad follows the work of five top detectives, each with their own methods, quirks and personal dilemmas. Together they are a brilliant police unit, but when crime doesn’t stop at work for the detectives, the squad is faced with not only hunting down killers but also protecting their families and loved ones from real danger…

Eccho Rights lands Turkish dramas on Portugal's SIC
Eccho Rights has secured a significant deal with Portuguese free-to-air broadcaster SIC, licensing a string of acclaimed Turkish drama series to the channel. The agreement sees SIC acquire I Am Mother, My Home My Destiny, A Journey to Belong, Elif and Wounded Birds, adding a substantial new tranche of Turkish drama content to the broadcaster's schedule.
The deal was concluded by Melis Hamamcıoğlu, Sales Executive at Eccho Rights for Portugal, and comes ahead of the international content market Content Europe, which takes place in Lisbon this week (April 21–23).
Melis Hamamcıoğlu commented: "This is a really exciting moment for Eccho Rights in Portugal. SIC remains the country's biggest broadcaster, and bringing such a strong and diverse slate of Turkish titles to their schedule reflects the growing confidence Portuguese audiences have shown in this genre. With Content Europe taking place in Lisbon this week, the timing could not feel more apt — it is a wonderful demonstration of the momentum Turkish drama continues to build right across Europe."
The deal reinforces Eccho Rights' growing footprint in the Iberian market, following recent sales activity across Spain and Latin America.
