Calinos, wider: Turkish and regional dramas 

CEO & Founder Firat Gulgen

Calinos Entertainment is arriving at MIPCOM 2025 with a large catalog of content that emphasizes intense drama and high-stakes emotional conflict. The company, which has distributed approximately 131,000 hours of TV programming to over 120 countries, is presenting both established titles and new productions. The sales team, led by CEO & Founder Firat Gulgen, is actively targeting multiple regions, including Europe, LATAM, and CEE.

The slate features several compelling new series, including Lies After Lies, a drama currently in production. The story follows Ayse, a woman released from prison after being accused of murdering her husband, whose desperate attempt to reunite with her estranged daughter, Zeynep, is complicated by the relentless vengeance of her former mother-in-law, Ilter. Calinos is also showcasing Farah (89 TV hours), which centers on an Iranian woman who flees her country and works as a cleaning lady in Istanbul to fund her son’s medical treatment. Her life is violently upended when she witnesses a mafia murder, drawing her into a dangerous web involving the police, the mafia, and an unexpected love story with the hitman.

Lies After Lies, drama

The distributor also offers dramas rooted in powerful emotional and social turmoil. Flames of Love (84 TV hours) details the «impossible love» between Zumrut, the daughter of a struggling family, and Serhat, the son of the powerful Demirkan family. The drama reaches a peak when Serhat, long presumed dead, returns suddenly on the wedding night of Zumrut and his employer. Another complex story, Chasing the Sun (75 TV hours), follows Gunes, a recent graduate who sacrifices her dreams to save her imprisoned brother. She infiltrates the life of Ayaz, whom she blames for her brother’s fate, only to find herself captured between her initial desire for revenge and an undeniable emotional connection.

Rounding out the distribution list are dramas from other regions. In Her Arms (90 TV hours) is the story of a young girl named Basma, who escapes a childhood marred by violence thanks to her teacher, Maryam, who raises her with safety and love. The drama Crystal (90 TV hours) follows Fay, a gardener’s daughter obsessed with Alya, the owner’s daughter; Fay’s life turns into a nightmare as her admiration leads her into Alya’s manipulative world of jealousy and betrayal, ultimately rising to power at the cost of her identity. Finally, the romance drama Deeply (14 TV hours) explores the complexity of rekindling an intense, passionate love years after misunderstandings and ambitions drove Deniz and Baris apart.
