Global Agency has today announced that it has inked a distribution deal with STXtv for
Netflix Original series Rise of Empires: Ottoman. As a result of this agreement, the
docudrama will be sold exclusively by Global Agency in Latin America.
STXtv’s six-episode series, produced by Karga Seven Pictures, a Red Arrow Studios company,
uses a blend of scripted and documentary elements to chronicle the rise of Ottoman ruler
Mehmed II, aka Mehmed the Conqueror.
This historic epic docudrama, a co-production from Hollywood and Turkey, showcases the
drama of the rise of one empire and the fall of another. The 6x60 miniseries unfolds like a
real-life Game of Thrones as it chronicles Mehmed II’s fabled rise from 12-year-old child
sultan to ruler of the Ottoman Empire and founder of Istanbul. With epic visual effects, a
stunning cast, and insights from world-leading academics, one of the key moments of the
last millennium is brought to life in stunning clarity.
Tuba Büyüküstün (Mara), Birkan Sokullu (Giustiniani), Cem Yigit Üzümoglu (Mehmed) and
Tommaso Basili (Emperor Constantine) are the leading cast members in this landmark TV
event.
Izzet PINTO, Founder & CEO of Global Agency, said: “We are extremely happy to be
partnering with STXtv and Karga Seven Pictures. They are both leading production
companies in the United States. This project has had a major digital impact. We are very
proud to represent such a high-budget, quality project.”
Jada Miranda of STXtv said, “‘Rise of Empires: Ottoman’ delivers historical and entertaining
storytelling that appeals to audiences everywhere in the world, but most importantly, we
are proud of the way it brings a greater understanding of the broader culture, changes and
world that affect us even today. We’re thrilled to be teaming with Global Agency to bring
this program to the audiences of Latin America.
