Telefuturo acquired the Turkish series Lost in Love and Broken Destiny, distributed by OGM Universe, in the midst of the agreements signed during LA Screenings, which is taking place this week in Los Angeles. The success of the Paraguayan television station is a good prognosis for the content distributor, which expects to continue opening doors for these successful titles in Latin America.
Ekin Koyuncu, Director of Global Distribution and Partnerships of OGM Universe, told ttvnews that they are very happy with this new agreement with Telefuturo. “We expect both titles to start airing in the territory next year. And hopefully, with the success in Paraguay, more doors will open for us in Latin America,” she said.
Lost in Love has already aired in full in Turkey, with much success even on social media. “The fans responded very positively towards this couple, not only our main couple Mete and Naz, but we have a new character who enters the series in the middle who is called Kadir, who we also know from Golden Boy and in the series he gets closer with Naz and in the end, they end up married together, and they have an amazing chemistry as well,” said Koyuncu.
According to the OGM Universe executive, Lost in Love had a great response on social media and views on YouTube and became trending on Twitter. “Of course, this makes us feel very proud and happy.”
At LA Screenings, they are also presenting the series The Tailor, Miracle of Love, Stickman, and Dilemma.
Moreover, OGM is introducing new titles on Netflix and Amazon Prime this year. “The recent title, Dilemma, we produced for Amazon Prime, and it’s the first Turkish series on Amazon Prime. We are very happy with it; it’s eight episodes and a very strong, amazing, unique production. It’s the story of a TV presenter who has a live show where she solves cases of murders, kidnappings, and so on. She receives a case where a girl is murdered, and all the evidence points to her son as the killer,” Koyuncu mentioned.
According to the executive, Dilemma is a very exciting and touching title. It is also available for Amazon Prime in Italy, Germany, Spain, the Middle East, France, and Luxembourg. “Amazon has Prime for other territories, but there is no hold. It is available for Latin America, the US, and also other territories that Amazon does not license yet,” she concluded.
