Eccho Rights has announced the brand new Turkish drama series Beneath the Surface to international buyers at MIPCOM, adding this title to its impressive lineup of premium Turkish series.
Produced by Karga Seven Pictures for beIN Media Group-owned streaming platform TOD in Turkey & MENA, Beneath the Surface premiered earlier this October to rave reviews from both the Turkish and MENA press and public. According to TOD, the series, airing under the local title Sorgu, has become the platform’s most-streamed series to date.
The show stars one of Turkish drama’s most recognizable faces, Hazal Kaya, as police officer Cihan, who finds herself grappling with a professional and personal crisis when her father is murdered. Compounding her dilemma, she is prohibited from investigating his death herself. Cihan’s growing romantic feelings for her colleague assigned to the case, Metin (played by Çağlar Ertuğrul), become even more complicated when Cihan’s sisters emerge as prime suspects.
“We are thrilled to partner with beIN, TOD, and Karga Seven on this exciting new series. With Hazal Kaya and Çağlar Ertuğrul, we have two of the biggest stars in the Turkish television industry, along with a uniquely captivating script that promises to engage audiences,” says Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights.
Esra Özaral Altop, Chief of Entertainment at beIN MEDIA GROUP, adds, “Sorgu is a remarkable project that will resonate deeply with viewers, thanks to its intricate story and compelling characters. We invite audiences to embark on a journey of discovery with each episode, exploring the mysteries and darker aspects of human nature. A dedicated team has worked tirelessly to bring the series to life, thanks to all of the great people who contributed and I would also like to extend my gratitude to Eccho Rights. We are excited to be part of this journey”
In addition to Kaya and Ertuğrul, the cast of Beneath the Surface includes notable Turkish stars Melisa Döngel and Boncuk Yılmaz.
The series is written by Nuray Uslu and Milay Ezengin, directed by Deniz Yorulmazer, and produced by Karga Seven Pictures for TOD.
