Kanal D International has strengthened its presence in the CIS region with the sale of six high-performing Turkish drama titles, continuing its strategy of expanding global demand for Turkish content. The newly licensed series — "The Family Burden," "A Father's Promise," "For My Son," "Kuzey Güney," "Sunshine Girls," and "Forbidden Love" — reflect the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality, emotionally resonant programming that appeals to diverse markets.

This latest wave of deals builds on Kanal D International’s growing distribution momentum, as the broadcaster capitalizes on the rising appetite for Turkish storytelling across international markets. The series selected for the CIS deal span a range of themes: "The Family Burden" and "A Father's Promise" center on intense family dynamics, while "For My Son" explores sacrifice through gripping drama. Legacy titles "Kuzey Güney" and "Forbidden Love" have maintained strong relevance since their original runs, and "Sunshine Girls" targets younger viewers with a mix of emotional storytelling and youthful vibrancy.

The expansion reinforces Kanal D International’s positioning as a leading exporter of Turkish dramas, reflecting both the scalability of its IP and the company’s ability to serve a variety of audience segments across regions. The deals also underscore the sustained appeal of Turkish scripted content as a strategic asset in global entertainment portfolios.
