Eccho Rights will be presenting its most diverse catalogue of titles ever at next month’s MIPTV. The line up brings together drama series from all across Europe, with new launches from Turkey and an updated selection of scripted formats from Korea.

<em>“We are really proud of the range of drama series we are currently representing, and as well as proven hits we have a number of brand new shows that are yet to air but already creating a buzz and generating pre-sales,”</em> says Fredrik af Malmborg, Managing Director of Eccho Rights.

Launching with a premiere screening at MIPTV (Monday 8th April, 2.15pm Auditorium K) is INVISIBLE HEROES, a suspenseful political drama based on true events that took place during the military junta in Chile in 1973. Telling the story of Finnish diplomats that secretly secured a route to refuge in Europe for over 2000 Chilean citizens targeted by the Pinochet regime, the series is co-produced by Kaiho Republic in Finland and Parox in Chile, for Yle.

From Turkey, WOUNDED BIRDS is the next series from the creator of worldwide hit ELIF for new production outfit Stellar Yapim. The series premieres on Kanal D in Turkey this April.

THE PROMISE is a brand new daily drama hit for Kanal 7. Produced by Karamel Yapim, the romantic story has scored top ratings since its launch in February and has already been recommissioned for a second season.

HONOUR is a much anticipated Swedish thriller, co-created by three of its leading actors Alexandra Rapaport, Anja Lundqvist and Julia Dufvenius, alongside The Bridge star Sofia Helin, for production company Bigster. Also featuring MARIA WERN's Eva Röse, the series debuts on NENT Group’s Viaplay later this year and has already pre-sold to Belgian pubcaster VRT.

Romanian revenge thriller VLAD</strongh> is Pro TV’s biggest drama launch of the year and has won huge ratings during its current 13 episode run.

Eccho Rights is also bringing a bolstered lined up of scripted formats from partner company CJ ENM.

<em>“As drama commissioners and producers are increasingly looking for unique and innovative stories, we have handpicked a further selection of top scripted titles from CJ ENM to join our existing catalogue,”</em> adds af Malmborg.
