GoQuest Media has licensed its first co-production, the Turkish series "Kuma" ("The Other Wife"), in multiple territories. The deals see the Turkish premium daily licensed to Happy Channel and Antena TV Group in Romania, TV2 Media Group in Hungary, and Thanthi One in India.
Produced by Stellar Yapim, with showrunner Inci Gulen Oarr, known for "Elif," "Canim Annem," and "Wounded Birds," the series has secured international sales without first premiering on Turkish television.
"Kuma" ("The Other Wife") (100x50’) tells the story of Ceylan, who runs away from home and meets Karan, a wealthy young businessman. They fall in love and are soon set to be married. However, when Ceylan is framed for murder, Karan marries his brother’s widow instead and forces Ceylan to become his "kuma," a second wife to bear his children.
Vivek Lath, Managing Director of GoQuest Media, commented on the deal: "‘Kuma’ is our first production developed under the make-to-sell model. Securing early deals while the series is still in post-production and before it has even aired on Turkish television demonstrates that ‘Kuma’ has hit the mark with what international buyers are looking for in their Turkish programming, underscoring our confidence in its international appeal. Additionally, we have major deals in the contracting stage and will be ready to make another announcement regarding the series in January," expressed.
