As part of its international strategy, OGM Pictures has entered into a development agreement with Spanish production company Grupo Ganga to collaborate on premium scripted projects across Turkey and Spain. The partnership will initially focus on building a shared slate of series intended for both linear broadcasters and global streaming platforms as co-productions.
The joint venture will encompass the creation of original content tailored for international audiences, alongside the adaptation of existing formats from the catalogs of both companies. The collaboration is designed to merge the production approaches and narrative traditions of the Turkish and Spanish markets, aiming to develop culturally specific projects with global scalability. For the company, the agreement follows the recent launch of its international division as the company seeks to expand its global footprint through targeted creative alliances.
Executive leadership from both companies emphasized the operational and creative scale of the partnership. Onur Güvenatam, founder and producer of OGM Pictures, noted that combining different storytelling traditions presents new opportunities for layered narratives that can travel internationally while maintaining local authenticity. Miguel Angel Bernardeau, founder and general manager of Grupo Ganga, described the union as ‘a multiplication of creative capacity’ that allow the companies to tackle larger-scale projects with increased international complexity.
Santiago Gimeno, CEO of Squirrel Studios—the parent group of Grupo Ganga—reinforced the strategic value of the deal, citing Ganga’s established track record in Europe as a strong foundation for the collaboration with OGM Pictures’ production standards. Addressing the broader global strategy, Berna Levin, head of international production at OGM Pictures, and Esther Sánchez, head of international strategy at Grupo Ganga, both highlighted that the core objective is to build a slate of impactful stories that leverage the creative visions of both entities to reach a worldwide audience while remaining rooted in their local identities.
