The series was already sold to Puerto Rico, the United States, Spain, Chile, MENA, Israel, Cyprus, Romania and Georgia. “This makes Family Secrets one of the fastest-selling drama series on the market today,” points out Madd in a press release.
Even after almost 30 episodes, Family Secrets remains a perennial Top 5 show in the competitive ABC+20 cohort in Turkey. The Ay Yapim series, broadcasted as Yargı on Kanal D, features Pınar Deniz (Wounded Love, Love 101) as Ceylin, a tough lawyer willing to bend the rules in the service of justice. Kaan Urgancıoğlu (Endless Love, Love 101) plays Ilgaz, a no-nonsense prosecutor who does everything by the book. The two of them mix like oil and water, but when Ilgaz’s brother is accused of murder, it’s Ceylin he goes to for help.
“Directed by Ali Bilgin (Medcezir, Brave and Beautiful) from an original story by Sema Ergenekon (Black Money Love), Family Secrets takes Turkish drama in a bold new direction,” affirms Madd Entertainment.
