The Promise renewed for third Season
Oct 31, 2019
THE PROMISE has been renewed for a third season on Turkey’s Kanal 7, after the enormous success of the first and second seasons broadcast throughout 2019.
The daily drama series, produced by Karamel Yapim, has been scoring record breaking ratings for its host broadcaster since launching in February this year, and has now started to make waves on the international market. We have already secured sales in Romania, Lithuania, India, Poland and Georgia, with a host of other territories queuing up to acquire the series following MIPCOM. The success, both domestic and international, has seen the romantic drama renewed for a further 256 x 45 min episode run to air through the 2020-21 season.
“THE PROMISE has seen a massive increase in market share for Kanal 7 and international broadcasters have been taking notice. The confirmation of over 400 episodes to be complete by Spring 2021 gives international buyers a guarantee of a quality, long-running product,” says Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights.

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.
