Eccho Rights brings The Promise and North Star to Latin America
Jun 11, 2020
Eccho Rights has sold record-breaking Turkish daily drama THE PROMISE and hit romance NORTH STAR to territories across Latin America: Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay and Bolivia.
“We are happy to see an interest from clients and audiences for more daily drama from Turkey. WOUNDED BIRDS has performed very well in Colombia and Puerto Rico lately, and we are sure THE PROMISE will perform as well as it has done in Turkey, where it broke several records and had better results than a number of high budget weekly dramas. We also have high hopes for NORTH STAR, a touching drama with just the right amount of humour that has developed into a massive audience favourite in Turkey”, says Barbora Suster, Head of Latin America and Iberia at Eccho Rights.
Produced by Karamel Yapim for Kanal 7, THE PROMISE has been one of the most successful Turkish series of the past two years, finishing its first season with record-breaking results, a second season just wrapped and a third currently in pre-production.
NORTH STAR is one of the leading series on Saturday nights since its launch last year on Show TV. It is produced by Sürec Film and has consistently won its time slot in the total audience demographic group.

Eccho Rights expands into animation with major Turkish titles from Grafi2000
Eccho Rights has acquired worldwide television and theatrical rights to two of Turkey’s most successful animated franchises, King Shakir (Kral Şakir) and Super Team (Süper Bir Takım), both produced by Grafi2000 Productions. The agreement marks a significant strategic expansion for Eccho Rights, extending its content portfolio beyond live-action drama.
King Shakir is Türkiye’s longest-running and most-watched animated series produced for Cartoon Network Turkey, spanning 400 episodes, four seasons and four theatrical feature films. Super Team is a superhero comedy series comprising 52 episodes and a feature film released this spring.
Varol Yaşaroğlu, creator and producer at Grafi2000, said: “Eccho Rights understands how to build genuine international audiences for Turkish content, and this partnership gives King Shakir and Super Team the global platform they deserve. We have always believed these characters, this humour and this heart can connect with children and families everywhere.”
Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights, commented: “Eccho Rights has always been driven by a single principle: finding the best content and connecting it with viewers around the world. King Shakir is a decade-long franchise with proven performance, and Super Team brings a second compelling universe from the same creative mind. This is exactly the kind of high-quality, distinctly Turkish storytelling we know how to champion globally.”
