ECCHO RIGHTS TO REPRESENT ENDLESS
We are excited to announce new Sürec Film-produced drama Endless, a part of our 2023 line up!
The series (original title Fedakar), is set to premier the 18th of March on Kanal 7, and follows Tarık who's on a mission to find his sister’s killer, and seek revenge. He spots the killer’s motorcycle outside a young man’s house, but when he is not home, Tarık decides to kidnap his sister Elif instead, to use her as bait. Holding Elif captive, Tarık expects to crush her spirit until she turns on her brother. But the young woman who has devoted everything to her family, is convinced Sefer is innocent and would go to any lengths to protect him. This strength of character awakens something in Tarık, something he didn’t know he had been missing all along.
“High volume dramas from Turkey have become a hugely attractive option for broadcasters looking for long-running series that consistently pull in good viewing figures in both afternoon and prime time slots. And with Sürec Film producing, buyers are assured of a premium production,” says Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights.

TURKISH DRAMA SISTERHOOD TO ITALY
Distributor Eccho Rights has closed the first deal for Turkish series Sisterhood, produced by Surec Film, selling it to Mediaset in Italy. The powerful drama evolves around three young very different women, who find out that they are sisters just before tragedy strikes and changes their lives forever.
Ipek is finalizing her wedding plans when she is stunned to receive an anonymous letter telling her she has two sisters she never knew. Coming to terms with the fact that she was adopted, she invites her two newfound siblings to the ceremony. During their wedding night, her husband violently attacks Ipek and she calls her sisters for help. In a desperate defense attempt, the young women kill Tekin and suddenly find themselves at the center of a murder cover-up. The show premiered last year on Star TV in Turkey to great results.
“Turkish Drama is becoming increasingly popular in Italy and we are excited to close our first deal for this emotional story. It balances the central love story and the surrounding family drama in a perfect way,” says Nicola Söderlund, Managing Partner at Eccho Rights
