M6 acquired the Turkish series Brave and Beautiful
Eccho Rights reached a sale with M6 in France, which licensed the classic Turkish Drama series Brave and Beautiful.First released in 2016, Brave and Beautiful was one of the most highly anticipated Turkish series of all time, pairing international megastars Kivanc Tatlitug and Tuba Büyüküstün as romantic leads for the first time. Produced by Ay Yapim for Star TV in Turkey, the series won critical and audience acclaim and has gone on to be one of the most widely sold Turkish series ever.
‘We continue to see new territories embracing Turkish content, and with the overwhelming success that Turkish Dramas have enjoyed, particularly in Spain and Italy in recent years, it is no surprise to see this spread across Western Europe’, said Melis Hamamcioglu, Director of Digital Media Acquisition & Content Sales at Eccho Rights.
Written by Ece Yörenç, the award winning screenwriter of a string of hit Turkish series (Forbidden Love, Fatmagul, Kurt Seyit & Sura) Brave and Beautiful has sold to more than 100 territories worldwide, including Spain, Italy, Sweden and Portugal, as well as every country in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.
The series has taken home several television awards in Turkey and in 2017 won the Silver Bird Prize for Best Serial Drama at the Seoul International Drama Awards. In 2018, Brave and Beautiful was nominated for an International Emmy in the Telenovela category.
