Spanish media company Mediaset España recently announced it has purchased the Turkish series Farah, distributed by Calinos Entertainment.
The series, adapted from the award-winning Argentinian show La Chica Que Limpia, is about an Iranian woman, Farag, and her son, forced to flee their native country and settle in Istanbul. In order to buy medical care for him she has no choice but to work as a cleaning lady.
Produced by O3 Medya, the series has already been widely distributed internationally thanks to broadcast agreements with Azerbaijan, Albania, Lithuania, Romania and the MENA region.
Following this acquisition, Calinos Entertainment’s Head of European Sales said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Mediaset España once again by broadcasting our new series, Farah, in the Spanish market. Farah has already become an international phenomenon, especially on social media platforms worldwide, due to the popularity of the actors and its gripping plot.”
