France’s M6 Licenses ‘Brave and Beautiful’

Eccho Rights has licensed the Turkish drama series Brave and Beautiful to M6 in France.

Produced by Ay Yapım for Star TV in Türkiye, the series 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,” says Melis Hamamcıoğlu, Director of Digital Media Acquisition & Content Sales at Eccho Rights.

First released in 2016, Brave and Beautiful was one of the most highly anticipated Turkish series of all time, pairing megastars Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Tuba Büyüküstün. 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.

Written by Ece Yörenç, the award winning screenwriter of a string of hit Turkish series like 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.
