Wounded Birds licensed to Joyn
Mar 06, 2025
Eccho Rights has agreed a deal with ProSiebenSat.1 Media-owned Joyn, for the Turkish Drama series Wounded Birds. This represents the first time that a Turkish Daily Drama series has been licensed in Germany.
In a first-of-its-kind deal, the series streams on Joyn in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in its original Turkish with German subtitles rather than dubbed, a move informed by the more than 3 million-strong population of Turkish extraction in Germany.
Herbert L. Kloiber, Eccho Rights CEO said: “The potential for Turkish Drama in Germany has always been there, but typically the huge diaspora has found other means to consume Turkish content. We are delighted that Joyn has opened the door to local licensing of Turkish series which have found huge success wherever they have aired elsewhere in Western Europe.”

Eccho Rights expands Disney partnership with new deals in Portugal and MENA
Eccho Rights has concluded two new deals with The Walt Disney Company, licensing acclaimed Turkish drama series Golden Boy to STAR Life in Portugal and My Home My Destiny to Disney+ across the MENA region.
The agreements build on the partnership between Eccho Rights and The Walt Disney Company established earlier this year, when STAR Life Portugal acquired romantic comedy titles Everywhere I Go and My Sweet Lie - and mark a significant broadening of the relationship across both platform and territory.
Melis Hamamcioglu, Director of Digital Media Acquisition & Content Sales at Eccho Rights, commented:
"To be expanding our relationship with The Walt Disney Company across two of their platforms and into a new region in the space of a few months is a real marker of where Turkish drama sits today in the international market. The appetite among premium platforms for proven, emotionally driven content from Turkey is only growing, and we look forward to building on this further."
