TURKISH DRAMA SISTERHOOD TO ITALY
Apr 21, 2020
Distributor Eccho Rights has closed the first deal for Turkish series Sisterhood, produced by Surec Film, selling it to Mediaset in Italy. The powerful drama evolves around three young very different women, who find out that they are sisters just before tragedy strikes and changes their lives forever.
Ipek is finalizing her wedding plans when she is stunned to receive an anonymous letter telling her she has two sisters she never knew. Coming to terms with the fact that she was adopted, she invites her two newfound siblings to the ceremony. During their wedding night, her husband violently attacks Ipek and she calls her sisters for help. In a desperate defense attempt, the young women kill Tekin and suddenly find themselves at the center of a murder cover-up. The show premiered last year on Star TV in Turkey to great results.
“Turkish Drama is becoming increasingly popular in Italy and we are excited to close our first deal for this emotional story. It balances the central love story and the surrounding family drama in a perfect way,” says Nicola Söderlund, Managing Partner at Eccho Rights

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.
