Eccho Rights launches Latest Kanal 7 Drama, Zerhun
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.

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."
