OGM UNIVERSE, established in 2022 by OGM Pictures, arrives at MIPCOM 2025 with a slate of Turkish drama series, positioning itself as a central source for the genre globally. The company’s goal is to strengthen international ties, foster direct relationships with global partners, and expand into new markets, including future collaborations and co-productions. The sales effort at the market is led by Ekin Koyuncu Karaman, Global Distribution & Partnership Director.
The offering features dramas currently in production for STAR TV, often focusing on themes of betrayal, class division, and the price of ambition. The new series Reborn (Çarpıntı, 2025) centers on Aslı Güneş, a young woman who receives a life-saving donor heart. The twist is that the heart belonged to the daughter of one of Istanbul’s wealthiest families, pulling Aslı into a dangerous world where she becomes the living link between two families divided by class and grief. She is torn between her poor, troubled mother and the powerful Alkan dynasty, facing secrets and forbidden love.
Another key title is The Fall of the King (Kral Kaybederse, 2025), an adaptation of Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu’s bestselling novel. The drama stars Halit Ergenç and Merve Dizdar and exposes the deep secrets beneath the seemingly flawless life of charismatic businessman Kenan Baran, known as The King. When his endless affairs shatter his marriage, Kenan’s empire begins to crumble, especially as Fadi, a young woman from a modest background, enters his dangerous, glittering world as both a temptation and an escape. The narrative explores how power turns into weakness and how the downfall of the patriarch allows the women in his life to rise.
OGM also features Six of Us (Sahipsizler, 2024), a powerful family drama following six siblings—Azize, Cemo, Zeliha, Fidan, Samet, and Balım—who flee Istanbul after the brutal murder of their parents. The eldest, Azize, is forced into a marriage to end a blood feud and protect her siblings, sparking an unexpected love. The series chronicles their struggle for survival against external threats and internal conflicts, exploring themes of sacrifice and belonging. All three titles underscore OGM UNIVERSE’s focus on high-production dramas tailored for the international market.
