Secuoya Studios Stories, headed by Eduardo Galdo, has further reached an agreement with Turkish production company Ay Yapim to adapt several of its formats. The projects include Emmynominated soap opera Brave and Beautiful, 2020 romance drama Love Storm (Zehmeri) and 2013 crime series 20 Minutes. It is believed that
Secuoya are looking to co-produce the latter with Latin America. The first production by Eduardo Galdo’s team will air in Spain on Atresmedia.

This is the outcome of the alliance between the Spanish content studio and the Turkish production company launched a few months ago.

Nominated for an International Emmy for Best Telenovela in 2018, the international hit is a romantic, action-packed melodrama that will air in Spain on Atresmedia. Brave and Beautiful is the first project from the Stories area, led by executive producer Eduardo Galdo, a new entrant to the Secuoya Studios team.

Brave and Beautiful (Cesur ve Güzel) premiered on Star TV in 2016 and proved an instant hit in Turkey, where it won several awards, including the TelevisionDisisi.com Awards and accolades from GP magazine and the Sayidaty publication. The series also achieved international success: it aired in almost twenty countries, such as Hungary, Romania, Spain, Albania, Greece, Bolivia, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Peru, among others.

This long-running series traces the love story between a young fighter from a humble family who is determined to avenge the death of his father, and a beautiful heiress, daughter of the suspected murderer of the hero’s father.

With Brave and Beautiful, Secuoya Studios and Ay Yapim are taking the first step towards building their partnership to develop TV adaptations of the Turkish production company’s international hit for the global market. The Spanish studio, a leading player in the creation, production and distribution of Spanish-language content, and one of Turkey’s largest film and TV production companies are joining forces to co-develop, co-finance and co-produce Spanish-language versions of Turkey’s biggest global hits.
