Apr 04, 2024
Turkish drama hit I Am Mother has been renewed for a second season by broadcaster Show TV.
The O3 Medya-produced series, which debuted in November 2023, has been a widely lauded success in Turkey, scoring top ratings particularly in the key AB demographic where it regularly tops the charts each Tuesday in a fiercely competitive prime time slot.
“We are delighted and proud to represent such a vital series. The central themes of motherhood, and a woman fighting to be heard within her own family, are relatable for many millions of women and I Am Mother has been so well received both in Turkey and around the world. We can’t wait to see how this important story continues to develop into season two,” says Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at international distributor Eccho Rights.
