On the eve of ATF and marking their third deal together, Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV), MF Yapim and MEDYAPIM announced today a deal for the acquisition of the format rights to drama My Son for a Turkish remake. 

The deal follows the successful ventures from 2016 and 2017, respectively, when the two companies partnered to remake Mother (Anne in Turkey) and Woman – My Life For My Children – (Kadin in Turkey). To date, Anne has become a mega hit and has been sold to numerous countries as a finished program. Upon the success of Anne, Kadin also started airing on Fox Turkey in October with stellar ratings as Turkish viewers anxiously awaited its premiere.
 
Additionally, this agreement marks the first format sale into a different country for My Son. Through a family that suffered a kidnapping, My Son follows three women who learn what it takes to become a mother amidst the struggles and pain. This scripted drama is dedicated to all women no matter which stage in life they're in.
 
“To be announcing that our scripted formats are being produced for the third time in Turkey with MF Yapim is a great thrill for Nippon TV. This kind of partnership is a first for us and we are honored to have the esteemed MF Yapim producing our drama series,” commented Atsushi Hatayama, President of International Business Development for Nippon TV.  “We believe one of the key factors of our dramas' strengths lie in the portrayal of female characters living strongly in the modern world. My Son is another example of our finest dramas utilizing that very theme.”
