Kanal D Secures European Renewal for Sins and Roses ahead of June markets

Elif Tatoğlu, Distribution Strategy Director

Following its successful broadcast run in Turkey, Kanal D International’s latest drama series, Sins and Roses, is gaining traction ahead of the European audiovisual markets scheduled for June. The series, which has maintained a prominent position in Turkish Saturday night ratings, recently confirmed a second-season renewal, a metric indicating strong domestic performance within the highly competitive Turkish television sector.

The renewal of Sins and Roses for a subsequent season provides a notable advantage for international distribution, as extended episode runs are frequently requested by global buyers looking for long-term programming stability. Produced by NGM and written by Yelda Eroğlu, the narrative centers on Serhat, played by Murat Yıldırım, a businessman whose life is destabilized when his wife falls into a coma before he can confront her regarding a significant secret. The plot develops further with the introduction of Zeynep, portrayed by Cemre Baysel, drawing both characters into a dynamic involving family intrigue and deception.

Representatives from Kanal D International noted that the strong domestic ratings have facilitated international sales negotiations. The company confirmed that half of the first season has already been localized for specific international clients who required a larger volume of content before committing to acquisitions. Currently, the distributor is engaged in advanced discussions with several European broadcasters and streaming platforms who are evaluating the available episodes.

As Kanal D International prepares for the upcoming circuit of European content markets in June, the distributor expects to announce further acquisition agreements for Sins and Roses. The company is positioning the title as a key offering within its drama catalog, leveraging both its domestic performance and its extended episode count to appeal to European programmers seeking serialized narratives.
