After sealing a strategic partnership at the end of last year, Inter Medya and Rise Studios have kicked off production on their first co-investment, Caged Love (Tutsak Sevda).
Penned by Zeynep Küçükerciyes and Ali Göğebakan, the series is being directed by Canan Çelik, with a cast that includes Eslem Akar and Mert Altınışık. It is being shot in Türkiye for a multiplatform global release.
“Caged Love represents the next chapter of our global co-production strategy,” said Can Okan, founder and CEO of Inter Medya. “By combining our international production expertise with the strength of Rise Studios, we are working together to honor the global appeal of Turkish drama through high-quality storytelling. Seeing this story finally come to life on set is a testament to the hard work and shared ambition of both companies.”
“This partnership reflects our ambition to back stories that travel,” added Amanda Turnbull, CEO and founder of Rise Studios. “With Caged Love, we’re bringing together a powerful emotional story and a globally proven genre to create something both locally authentic and widely relatable. Working with Inter Medya supports our intention to step into an adjacent market that shares cultural sensibilities while offering strong regional and international appeal.”
