OGM UNIVERSE, a leading global force in distributing premium Turkish drama, hosted an exclusive press conference at the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes on Tuesday, October 14th, during MIPCOM, reinforcing its global strategy with a remarkable lineup of its top actors, celebrated creatives, and key executives. The event, headlined by OGM UNIVERSE’s Global Distribution and Partnership Director Ekin Koyuncu Karaman, provided international media with a first-hand look at the company’s latest slate of new and returning dramas.
The conference began with a session for the highly anticipated new drama “Reborn (Çarpıntı)”, which premiered in Türkiye earlier this fall. Lead stars Kerem Bürsin and Lizge Cömert joined OGM Pictures’ Founder and Executive Producer Onur Güvenatam on stage to discuss the powerful story of second chances, their roles, and the creative vision behind one of the season’s most ambitious projects.
The second session spotlighted the phenomenon “The Fall of the King (Kral Kaybederse)”, based on Dr. Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu’s bestselling novel of the same name. The panel brought together the series’ acclaimed cast — Halit Ergenç, Aslıhan Gürbüz, and Merve Dizdar — alongside the celebrated author herself, Dr. Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu. The discussion offered rare insight into the psychological depth of the characters and the journey of adapting a bestselling novel for the screen, while also reflecting on the success of the first season and sharing anecdotes from the second season.
The final session focused on the fan-favorite series “6 of Us (Sahipsizler)”, uniting its beloved stars Hazal Subaşı and Burak Berkay Akgül with its acclaimed director Cem Karcı. The panel explored the resilient family bond at the story’s core and the directorial vision that captured the slow-burn chemistry that has created iconic, fan-favorite moments.
Ekin Koyuncu Karaman celebrated the slate: "Powerful storytelling travels further when matched with world-class talent, and our mission at OGM UNIVERSE is to unite both,. This event underscores our commitment to partnering with Türkiye’s finest artists to deliver compelling, emotionally engaging stories to our international partners. With content that is authentic and universal, we are proud to be setting new standards for global distribution and building an inspiring universe that truly resonates everywhere," noted.
