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 closes new deals for Winds of Love
Eccho Rights has finalised deals in Bosnia, Lithuania, Serbia and Montenegro for the Turkish daily drama series Winds of Love.
Winds of Love, produced by Unik Film & Rains Pictures for Kanal 7, is a sweeping romantic drama following Halil, a young man driven by a desire for revenge against the family that destroyed his own until an unexpected and powerful connection with Zeynep, the fierce and captivating daughter of his enemies, forces him to question everything. The series ran for two seasons on Kanal 7, accumulating a combined episode count of over 370 episodes across both runs.
The new deals follow an earlier wave of sales in CEE, which saw the series acquired by broadcasters in Poland, Israel, Romania, Georgia and North Macedonia, underlining the broad and sustained international appetite for the title.
Berkin Nalbantli, Sales Executive for CEE and Africa at Eccho Rights: "Winds of Love has found a home in so many different markets because it taps into something genuinely universal - a story of love and loyalty tested by circumstance, with two lead characters that audiences can't help but fall for. The emotional pull of this series translates effortlessly across cultures, and these new deals are a reflection of that."
Winds of Love joins fellow Kanal 7 title Behind the Veil, which last month concluded sales across CEE, in demonstrating the enduring appetite broadcasters in the region have for long-form serialised storytelling. With their large volume, emotionally driven narratives and loyal audiences, Turkish daily dramas continue to offer broadcasters a reliable and compelling programming proposition.
