The international distributor announced new sales for the hit Karamel Yapim drama, which was also sold in North Macedonia (Kanal 5), Hungary (RTL Klub), Albania (DigitalB) and Morocco (2M).
This Tuesday, Eccho Rights announced its hit Turkish drama, The Promise, has been sold to new territories across Europe, Africa and Latin America.
Viewers in Puerto Rico (Telemundo), North Macedonia (Kanal 5), Hungary (RTL Klub), Albania (DigitalB) and Morocco (2M) will soon be able to enjoy the hit series following deals brokered by the international distributor.
“The Promise continues to be one of our most in-demand properties,” said Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights. “Into the third season we now have over 600 episodes for international broadcast, a hugely valuable asset for channels looking for fresh, long-running content during the pandemic.”
The Promise tells the story of Reyhan who promises a dying family friend that she will marry his rebellious son Emir, and straighten him out. Despite the hostility she suffers from her new family, Reyhan is determined to honour her promise.
Produced by Karamel Yapim for Kanal 7 in Turkey, upon launch in February 2019, the drama immediately tripled the broadcaster’s share in Turkish prime time and has maintained this strong performance over the last year and a half.
Throughout the first two seasons Reyhan and Emir’s romance grows, but tragedy strikes at the end of the second season as Reyhan, pregnant with their first baby, dies in childbirth. During the third season we see how Emir struggles to cope with life as a father, having lost his wife. Could a new woman enter his world and lift the cloud over his head?
