Export of Turkish Drama Series

As an important cultural product, Turkish TV series attract great attention in international markets and contribute to the promotion of Turkey’s culture and diversity of cultural expressions. While the share of the film and television industry in national economies is increasing day by day, the TV series industry stands out as an industry branch with its increasing value. Turkish-made shows and series have been screened in many continents from the Middle East to the Balkans, from Africa to Central Asia, the Far East, and South America, reaching some 700 million people in nearly 146 countries. Turkish TV shows and series, which have become one of the most-watched productions in the countries where they are aired, are effective in increasing the export of other cultural and creative works and services by contributing to the promotion of Turkey’s intercultural dialogue.
