Produced by TIMS Productions, the series tells the story of Sultan Suleiman, and his wife Hurrem, and their pivotal role in the rise of the Ottoman Empire. Besides China, Magnificent Century will also be broadcast in Italy and Lithuania, making the show’s total worldwide audience to more than 200 million viewers in 48 countries.

Global Agency, distributor of the series, represents a range of Turkish dramas, including mini-series The Butterfly’s Dream; Game of Silence from TIMS Productions; and Star TV’s Iffet. The company also distributes all drama content from Greece’s Mega TV.

Izzet Pinto, CEO of Global Agency, said of the new sales: “When we acquired Magnificent Century, we knew it would be a big success, but it’s surpassed even our wildest dreams. For more than 200 million people to have watched the show is incredible. I can’t wait to introduce them to the other fantastic dramas in our catalogue.”
