Eccho Rights has secured a fresh round of distribution agreements across Central and Eastern Europe for the Turkish daily drama Winds of Love, bringing the series to audiences in Bosnia, Lithuania, Serbia, and Montenegro.
Produced by Unik Film and Rains Pictures for Kanal 7, the romantic drama tells the story of Halil, whose quest for revenge is turned upside down when he falls for Zeynep, the strong-willed daughter of the very family he blames. Spanning more than 370 episodes over two seasons, the series has built a substantial international following.
The series ran for two seasons on Kanal 7, accumulating a combined episode count of over 370 episodes across both runs.
The new deals follow an earlier wave of sales in CEE, which saw the series acquired by broadcasters in Poland, Israel, Romania, Georgia and North Macedonia, underlining the broad and sustained international appetite for the title.
Berkin Nalbantli, Sales Executive for CEE and Africa at Eccho Rights:
“Winds of Love has found a home in so many different markets because it taps into something genuinely universal – a story of love and loyalty tested by circumstance, with two lead characters that audiences can’t help but fall for. The emotional pull of this series translates effortlessly across cultures, and these new deals are a reflection of that.”
Winds of Love joins fellow Kanal 7 title Behind the Veil, which last month concluded sales across Poland, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, Moldova and Georgia, in demonstrating the enduring appetite broadcasters in the region have for long-form serialised storytelling. With their large volume, emotionally driven narratives and loyal audiences, Turkish daily dramas continue to offer CEE broadcasters a reliable and compelling programming proposition.
