Eccho Rights brings O3 Medya’s The Cost of Lies to MIPCOM
International distributor Eccho Rights will launch upcoming Turkish drama The Cost of Lies at MIPCOM later this month.
The series, produced by O3 Medya for Show TV in Turkey, stars Timuçin Esen (Hekimoglu), Çağlar Ertuğrul (The Shadow Team), Şükran Ovalı (Yargi) and Deniz Baysal (Mrs. Fazilet and Her Daughters). Adem (Esen) is a decent man, who provides for his family, dutifully working a modest job at the mint. When one day he innocently creates a special commemorative coin for his son, he is fired from his job, and his life starts to fall apart. At this point, his brother steps in – a charismatic swindler, Kartal (Ertuğrul) spies an opportunity to work with his brother and start counterfeiting money. As Adem’s fortunes change, so too does his life at home and his wife Canan (Ovalı) feels something awaken in her – but is it a longing for the new Adem? Meanwhile, Ayşe (Baysal), a police officer typically concerned with petty crime, crosses paths with Kartal and gets pulled into his world, unable to resist his magnetism. Production is currently under way for the series that will premiere on October 21 under the local title Kalpazan. The Cost of Lies is directed by Ugur Karaaslan and written by Sema Ali Erol, Mahir Erol, Ayşenur Sıkı and Türküler Özgül. Mehmet Ada Öztekin is the showrunner for O3 Medya. “This is a fantastic and unique project, that will both thrill audiences but also find a way into their hearts – a story that is grounded in family issues and burgeoning romances. We are so excited to present it to our clients,” said Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights. Saner Ayar, Executive Producer and Managing Partner of O3 Medya, added: “This project captivated me with its profound emotional depth and unexpected twists. With the remarkable on-set collaboration of our showrunner, director, and the outstanding performances from the entire cast, I am thrilled to witness this project transform into a true visual masterpiece.” RELATED
