Mar 21, 2023
Eccho Rights has made landmark deals for Turkish Drama series Golden Boy, with broadcasters in Sweden and Finland.
The title, which has been an enormous success each week on Turkey’s Star TV since launching in September 2022, becomes the first Turkish Drama picked up by a commercial broadcaster in Sweden, with TV4 acquiring the rights for its TV4GOLD and Sjuan linear channels, as well as streamer CMore and TV4 Play.
And a deal with MTV Oy represents the first time ever that a Turkish series has been licensed by a Finnish broadcast group, with Golden Boy to stream on CMore and Katsomo in Finland.
“We are thrilled to once again be at the forefront of bringing Turkish Drama to new audiences. Golden Boy’s extraordinary success so far makes it an easy choice for broadcasters looking to test something new,” says Melis Hamacioglu, Director of Digital Media Acquisition & Content Sales, MENA, India, Pakistan & Western Europe at Eccho Rights.

Eccho Rights to represent The Trio
We are hugely excited to announce the latest title in our Western European Drama line-up: The Trio. Currently in production for SkyShowtime, the six-part romantic drama is based on the literary phenomenon Trion, by Swedish novelist Johanna Hedman. The best-selling book took the international publishing world by storm, and we are now looking forward to the television adaptation doing the same! The Trio is produced by SF Studios in association with Night Train Media, SkyShowtime, SVT and Film in Stockholm.
The series stars August Wittgenstein (The Crown), Felix Sandman (Quick Sand), Seth Manteus (Cherries) and Rebecka Harp.
The Trio is a story about love, sex and passion – a reflection of the meaning of life and the relentless passage of time.

This is also where he meets August, Thora's constant companion and occasional lover.

TOD, the popular streaming platform owned by beIN Media Group serving Turkey and the MENA region, has officially renewed its hit thriller series Beneath the Surface for a highly anticipated second season.
Produced by LA and Istanbul-based Karga Seven Pictures, the first season captivated audiences with its compelling mix of family drama, a tense murder mystery, and a rich love story delivering TOD its highest-ever viewing figures upon its 2024 launch.
