Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama, Eccho Rights: "Daily drama series in Turkey have been pushing higher budget titles in the ratings for a number of years, and this is reflected in the international market where demand for reliable, long-running series continues to grow. Legacy, which is nearing 1000 episodes in 2020, and now Redemption, are high quality, high volume series that win viewers day after day."
