International distributor Eccho Rights has secured deals with Indonesian broadcasters for three Turkish Drama series. ANTV have acquired Winds of Love, produced by Unik Film and Rains Pictures, and Behind the Veil from Film Yapim Merkezi, while SCTV have picked up Karamel Yapim drama Legacy.
“These new partnerships mark an encouraging moment for Turkish Drama in Indonesia,” said Berkin Nalbantli, Sales Consultant CEE & Asia at Eccho Rights. “It has been a challenging market in recent years, but during ATF earlier this month we saw clear signs of renewed appetite for Turkish content across Asia. Broadcasters are again looking for high quality, emotionally charged storytelling and we are pleased to be part of that momentum returning to the region.”
Eccho Rights previously enjoyed a major ratings breakthrough with Elif in 2015. The series became one of SCTV’s most watched titles of the year and later inspired a local remake on the same channel, further cementing the brand’s popularity with Indonesian audiences.
Winds of Love (original title: Rüzgarlı Tepe) is the story of Halil, who vows to avenge the Aslanlı Family after they destroy his family’s honor and take their home. His plan to reclaim everything falters when he meets Zeynep, the fiercely loyal Aslanlı daughter. As Halil seizes control of the mansion and its fortune, he learns that victory carries a heavy price. Their forbidden bond deepens, forcing them to choose between old loyalties and a love that may not withstand the past.
Behind the Veil (Gelin) is one of Kanal 7’s most successful series ever. Currently broadcasting its third season, the daily drama regularly rates higher than several of Turkey’s prestigious and high budget weekly series. Behind the Veil is the story of Hançer, who has fought for survival since childhood and will do anything to save her ailing brother. When Cihan, heir to a wealthy family, is expected to enter into an arranged marriage at his mother’s urging, Hançer is chosen, for her beauty and innocence. Hançer accepts the offer to fund her brother’s treatment, but life in the mansion upends everything, especially with Cihan’s ex wife still living there. What begins as a transaction transforms into a powerful love that defies the family’s plans.
Legacy (Emanet) is the story of little Yusuf, left alone in the cold Kırımlı mansion after his mother Kevser dies. Honouring her sister’s final wish, Seher moves into the household to care for him, stepping into the guarded world of Yusuf’s powerful uncle, Yaman. Though Yaman distrusts Seher, he cannot ignore the bond she builds with the boy. As Seher brings warmth and hope back into Yusuf’s life, an unexpected love begins to grow between her and Yaman, forming the beginnings of a new family.
