TIMS&B Productions and Inter Medya partner for global distribution of ‘Eshref Ruya'
TIMS&B Productions and Inter Medya have once again joined forces, this time to bring the new Turkish drama Eshref Ruya to international audiences. The series, which premiered on March 19 on Kanal D, stars Çağatay Ulusoy, Demet Özdemir, Necip Memili, Büşra Develi, Ahmet Rıfat Şungar, Tolga Tekin, Görkem Sevindik and Macit Koper. It is directed by Uluç Bayraktar, with a screenplay penned by Ethem Özışık and Lokman Maral.
The series follows Eshref (Ulusoy), a fearless and powerful man who seemingly has it all—except for the one thing that truly matters: love. Haunted by a past he can't escape, he is drawn into a whirlwind of emotions when he meets Nisan (Özdemir), a talented young musician who reignites something in him he thought was long lost.
This latest collaboration continues a successful partnership between TIMS&B Productions and Inter Medya, who have previously worked together on the international distribution of hit Turkish dramas such as Bitter Lands, Valley of Hearts, Deception and The Trusted.
Commenting on the deal, Timur Savcı, President of TIMS&B Productions, said: 'We're excited to launch Eshref Ruya, a series that embodies our commitment to crafting stories that move and inspire. For its journey to global audiences, we are happy to partner once again with Inter Medya. Our longstanding collaboration has been a pillar of our international success, built on years of trust and a shared passion for storytelling. Together, we've brought some of Turkiye's most iconic dramas to the world, and with Eshref Ruya, we believe once again we're set to push the boundaries of what Turkish television can achieve.'
Burak Sağyaşar, Co-founder and CEO of TIMS&B Productions, added: 'Seeing Eshref Ruya come to life is a thrill, a project that explores the raw, unspoken layers of love and loyalty against a backdrop of unrelenting stakes. This project brings together an extraordinary team of talent, from our exceptional cast to the creative genius of our director and our writers. We've poured our passion into every detail, and with Inter Medya's support, we're excited to share this vision with viewers around the world.'
Can Okan, Founder and CEO of Inter Medya, commented: 'We are thrilled to once again collaborate with TIMS&B Productions to deliver another global success. With its outstanding storytelling and exceptional talent both in front of and behind the camera, Eshref Ruya is set to leave a lasting impact on international audiences and further strengthen the presence of Turkish drama in the global market.'
