M6 licenses Brave and Beautiful
Oct 18, 2023
M6 in France has 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,” says Melis Hamamcioglu, Director of Digital Media Acquisition & Content Sales at Eccho Rights.

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.”
