MUMBAI: US-based network provider Olympusat has acquired exclusive TV and digital rights for Latin America, Puerto Rico, the US and Canada for three Ukrainian romance dramas produced by Media Group Ukraine, following a deal with global distributor GoQuest Media.
The deal sees Eclipse (8 x 45-minutes), Secrets (95 x 45-minutes) and Rainflower (8 x 45-minutes) all picked up by the US company.
Produced by Tri-ya-da production (Ukraine), Secrets explores hidden family secrets that tests the love and strength of Katya and Mykola, who have known and loved each other since childhood.
Eclipse, meanwhile, follows Sergie’s one-sided love as it turns to obsession when he meets his childhood crush, Svetlana, after 20 years. The series is directed by Anton Azarov and produced by Irina Zarya.
