NURSES ADAPTATION IN FRANCE
Dec 16, 2019
Eccho Rights has closed a deal with Federation Entertainment in France to adapt Finnish series Nurses (Syke). The French version, H24, is currently in production for TF1. Filming just finished and the series will air early 2020. The cast includes some of France's most famous and distinguished actresses: Anne Parillaud, Barbara Cabrita, Florence Coste and Frédérique Bel. The show continues its successful run throughout Europe where it has spawned various adaptations , just recently in Slovakia.
"The scripts for Nurses are so beautifully written and well crafted that it's easy to adapt in another country. The producers from Federation said that they just had to make minor changes regarding the medical procedures but the rest was merely a translation. This proves how universal and relatable the stories are to basically any country in the world" says Nicola Söderlund, Managing Partner at Eccho Rights.

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."

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.
