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."
