Wounded Birds licensed to Joyn

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.”
