Calinos Entertainment has secured a new deal on the Turkish drama Ugly, selling the show to Kanal D Romania.

DMI in Dubai has licensed the rights to Calinos Entertainment's Ugly for Dubai TV and Dubai Plus.

The Turkish drama business in Central and Eastern Europe is no longer about volume, Aslı Serim, head of content at Calinos Entertainment, tells ScreenMDM for our Dubrovnik Diaries strand; it's about strategic acquisitions "that can create real impact rather than simply filling schedules."

Calinos Entertainment has expanded its Turkish drama catalog, securing the rights to Gilded Lies (Rüya Gibi) from TMC Film.

TF1+ in France has acquired Indefensible and Alert Squad, produced by Pixcom and distributed by Calinos Entertainment.
