Eccho Rights and Amazon MX Player continue strategic partnership
Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free streaming service has extended its partnership with leading independent distributor Eccho Rights to bring two of Türkiye’s most iconic drama series, Golden Boy (Yalı Çapkını) and Chrysalis (Camdaki Kız), to viewers across India. The collaboration builds on the streaming service’s growing library of globally acclaimed content and marks a significant milestone in the ongoing partnership between Amazon MX Player and Eccho Rights.
Golden Boy (Yalı Çapkını) and Chrysalis (Camdaki Kız), both produced by OGM Pictures, rank among the most successful Turkish dramas of recent years. Golden Boy, which premiered on Star TV in 2022, has become a cultural phenomenon, breaking domestic ratings records and captivating audiences in over 130 international territories. Chrysalis, which debuted on Kanal D in 2021, quickly rose to the top of Turkish ratings charts, holding the number-one spot for over a year, and earned the prestigious Golden Butterfly Award for Best Drama Series.
“These are two of the most important drama titles we have seen come out of Türkiye in the past five years, and while both have enjoyed enormous success on the international stage so far, bringing them to the world’s largest consumer market in India represents another landmark step for Turkish Drama,” shared Melis Hamamcıoğlu, Director of Digital Media Acquisition & Content Sales at Eccho Rights, who closed the deal.

Wounded Birds licensed to Joyn
Eccho Rights has agreed a deal with ProSiebenSat.1 Media-owned Joyn, for the Turkish Drama series Wounded Birds. This represents the first time that a Turkish Daily Drama series has been licensed in Germany.
In a first-of-its-kind deal, the series streams on Joyn in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in its original Turkish with German subtitles rather than dubbed, a move informed by the more than 3 million-strong population of Turkish extraction in Germany.
Herbert L. Kloiber, Eccho Rights CEO said: “The potential for Turkish Drama in Germany has always been there, but typically the huge diaspora has found other means to consume Turkish content. We are delighted that Joyn has opened the door to local licensing of Turkish series which have found huge success wherever they have aired elsewhere in Western Europe.”
