Two big private Turkish channels gave a big fight, at the big bazaar of a TV series in Turkey, for the rights of projecting the story of Spinalonga. Finally, after a lot of negotiations, one of the two channels bought the Greek TV series after paying many thousands of Euros.
In Turkey, they know very well the success of the Greek series and that is why they were willing to pay many thousands of Euros for every episode. In Turkey, they also know many leading actors of the series like Stelios Mainas and Katerina Lechou, but above all the author of the book, Victoria Hislop.
Everything went as planned. A few days ago the Greek channel signed with one of the two Turkish channels. The successful Greek series will be projected in Turkey and not as a remake, but with Turkish subtitles.
The Mega channel wants to sell the Greek overproduction that cost 4.200.000 Euros to other countries too, so as to cover part of the expenses of its film making.
