The Hatmaker • We’re thrilled to announce the first international presale for The Hatmaker (Şapkacı Kadınlar), O3 Medya’s new period drama starring Pınar Deniz and Selahattin Paşalı. MBC Group has acquired the series for its streaming platform Shahid and linear channels across MENA, with the deal concluded on the first day of MIPCOM, ahead of filming in November.
“MBC is a long-standing partner who knows their audiences extremely well, and they recognised straight away the strength of Ayşe’s story and the star power of Pınar Deniz and Selahattin Paşalı. There is no better way to open MIPCOM,” said Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights.
Saner Ayar, Founder and Managing Partner at O3 Medya, added: “For buyers to commit to The Hatmaker before production has begun is a real vote of confidence in the story, our cast and our team. We are delighted to be off to such a strong start with Eccho Rights.”
Created and written by Necati Şahin, directed by Ömür Atay and produced by Suzan Sümeli for O3 Medya, The Hatmaker (60 x 45’) is available as both a finished drama and scripted format.
