CEEAlpha TV premieres Greek remake of Japanese Woman
Alpha TV will try to win over the audience with another remake of a hit Japanese format. After Mother, the channel is bringing Woman with the premiere set for Wednesday, Oct. 7, in the 22.00-00.30 slot.
Last fall, Alpha aired the local adaption of another Nippon TV format, Mother, for about a month last fall. The channel reports it averaged a 20.0% audience share among total viewers and 17.3% among adults aged 18–54 across its eight episodes, ranking No. 1 in its timeslot in both audiences. The finale, broadcast on October 23, 2025, delivered a 21.8% share among total viewers and 18.8% among adults aged 18–54, attracting an average of 880.000 viewers. Sally Yamamoto, Scripted Format Sales & Licensing at Nippon TV, commented: "Following the success of the Greek adaptation of Mother, we are delighted to continue our collaboration with Alpha TV on Woman -My Life for My Children-. While Mother and Woman both tell powerful stories centered on women, they explore female strength from very different perspectives. Woman is a moving portrayal of dignity and a mother's determination to protect her family in the face of hardship. Alpha TV has assembled an outstanding creative team, and we are excited to see how they will bring their own unique vision to this story for Greek audiences." Christos Kompos, Program Director, Alpha TV, added: "Great television is driven by characters who refuse to give up. Nippon TV has delivered a deeply affecting narrative anchored by a fiercely strong, multidimensional female lead. At Alpha, our focus was to take this brilliant foundation and organically weave it into our culture. By grounding her everyday struggles and undeniable resilience in a distinctly Greek context, we are introducing a character we know will immediately and profoundly resonate with our primetime viewers." The scripted format of Woman has already seen successful adaptations in other major international markets. Its Turkish version, Kadin, produced by Medyapim in 2017, achieved phenomenal success, lasting for three full seasons (81 episodes in total) and has been distributed in over 60 countries. Most recently, the Arabic adaptation, Salma, also produced by Medyapim, premiered on MBC1 and the Shahid streaming platform in 2025, to stellar reception across the Middle East and North Africa.
