The series is an adaptation of the best-seller novel 'The Turkish Passion' by Antonio Gala, winner of the Planeta Award.
Turkey-based Inter Medya has secured distribution rights for the original series La Pasión Turca in the MENA region. This series, a joint production by Buendía Estudios and Atresmedia, initially streamed on Atresmedia’s Atresplayer in Spain in March 2024, and had a primetime premiere on Spain’s Antena 3 in May. It became available worldwide on Netflix, excluding the MENA region, on June 28.
Inter Medya will now handle the distribution of the series within the MENA region.
La Pasión Turca stars Maggie Civantos, İlker Kaleli and Ainhoa Santamaría, and follows the romantic and passionate relationship between a Spanish fine arts professor and her Turkish lover.
The series is based on the best-selling novel The Turkish Passion by Antonio Gala, which won the Planeta Award and was adapted into a film by Vicente Aranda in 1994.
Commenting on the deal, Can Okan, founder and CEO of Inter Medya, said: “La Pasión Turca is a highly artistic production with a compelling story and outstanding performances. We are very happy to continue our long-standing collaboration with Atresmedia through the distribution of La Pasión Turca in the MENA region.”
