Top-Rated Turkish Series Coming to Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru after Record-Setting Run in Spain

The hit series A Mother’s Love debuted on Turkey’s TV8 last winter, started its record-setting run in Spain this spring, and is now set to launch in LatAm. Recent sales to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Peru bring A Mother’s Love to 13 markets across Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.

A Mother’s Love features Selin Sezgin, who starred in all five seasons of the international hit series Elif. Sezgin plays Nazli, a poor woman whose long-lost twin died in a car accident before the two could meet. Her sister’s child has a rare heart defect, and the girl’s father fears that she won’t survive the loss of her mother. Instead, he hires Nazli to pose as the girl’s mother until the child is old enough for life-saving surgery. Nazli accepts the position, but life in the luxurious mansion turns out to be anything but a fairy tale.

A Mother’s Love began broadcast on Valentine’s Day, where it airs under the title Canım Annem on Turkey’s top-rated channel, TV8. Three months later it launched in Spain under the title Querida Madre, where it set records for Spain’s Divinity channel. Soon the series will be released as Amor de Mama in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay via the El Trece network and in Peru on Latina TV.

Today’s announcement brings the total number of markets for A Mother’s Love to 13, a diverse list including Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Israel, Lithuania, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

Saran Studios is handling international sales, and many territories are still available. For more information on the series or to arrange a meeting at Mipcom (P-1 / L.51), contact Ms. Esra Ercan at esra.ercan@saran.com.tr.

The daily drama from Saran Media Group’s new division has already been sold to multiple territories and has just made its debut on Divinity in Spain.

Saran Studios was present for the first time at LA Screenings with its highly-successful series A Mother’s Love.

“A Mother’s Love is a daily show that began airing on TV8 in Turkey on February 14,” Sera Kaynak, Sales and Acquisitions Executive at Saran Studios, told ttvnews. “It is the first time that TV8 commissioned a daily series. They put a lot of faith in us and they are doing very well. It has been confirmed to have at least 150 episodes, but it is expected to stretch to 180 episodes or more.”

“It is selling very well around the world and has done very well in Turkey. It’s a daily show,” added Kaynak.

The title, which debuted in Turkey on TV8 in February, has already been sold to Spain, Lithuania and Israel.

A Mother’s Love is produced by Saran Studios, together with Stellar Yapim and ProTV, the leading Romanian broadcaster. The series stars Selin Sezgin, the actress who rose to fame in Elif, another Stellar Yapim production.

Sezgin plays Nazli, a poor woman who is hired to pose as the mother of a heart-stricken child, whose father fears he will not bear the loss of her biological mother. Nazli accepts her role and moves into a luxurious mansion, but her life is far from a fairy tale.

Just a few weeks ago, Divinity, a Mediaset channel, premiered A Mother’s Love with excellent results in Spain.

About her first experience at LASI, where Kaynak is joined by Julia Berköz, General Manager of Saran Studios, the executive comments: “We are present at this event for the first time and it has been very fruitful, we have had many meetings with very interesting people. It’s been going really well for us, we’ve got a lot of potential deals for our first show.”
