TimsB Productions Expands Global Influence in Premium Turkish Drama Industry

In the vibrant landscape of international television, TimsB Productions stands out as a titan of Turkish storytelling. With over 1,400 hours of captivating drama distributed across 90 countries in a mere eight years, the company is making waves through its exceptional series and its significant presence at this year’s MIPCOM, the world’s largest television content market.

Led by the visionary partners Timur Savcı and Burak Sağyaşar, TimsB Productions has firmly established itself as one of the most productive and influential studios in Turkey. Their portfolio boasts an impressive array of premium content that has not only captivated local audiences but gained acclaim and popularity across borders. The company’s latest creation, Eshref Rüya, debuted at MIPCOM with tremendous success, already sold in 40 countries and drawing interest for additional contracts in 12 more markets. This high-quality series stars acclaimed actors Çağatay Ulusoy and Demet Özdemir and has quickly become a viewer favorite.

During the festival, a remarkable photoshoot at the French Riviera, featuring the stunning cast in a meticulously restored vintage Cadillac—an iconic symbol from the series—attracted significant attention. The event, broadcast live on market screens, turned into one of the standout and most photographed moments of MIPCOM 2025.

A Legacy of Success

Eshref Rüya is part of an already impressive legacy of international hits produced by TimsB Productions. Another recent title, Valley of Hearts, has successfully penetrated over 60 international markets and has emerged as a favorite in Italy, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. The Greek adaptation of the series, titled Na M'Agapas (Love Me), premiered on October 6 and quickly became the top show in its timeslot, achieving a remarkable 20.4% market share among the total audience. This success firmly cements the show’s universal appeal.

Additionally, the Portuguese version of Gülperi, named Vitória, has topped ratings since its September launch, boasting nearly one million viewers daily, thus making it the absolute leader during prime time.

TimsB Productions has received numerous accolades for its commitment to exceptional storytelling. Valley of Hearts triumphed at the Produ Awards 2025, winning the award for Best Contemporary Non-Spanish Telenovela, with actor Aras Aydın taking home the Best Actor accolade in the same category. Moreover, TimsB pioneered its way into history with Another Love, the first Turkish series to win the Rose d’Or for Best Soap Opera/Telenovela, adding to its accolades from the prestigious Seoul International Drama Awards for Best Series.

Other notable series include Deception, which secured four nominations at the 2024 Produ Awards and ultimately clinched awards for Best Non-Spanish Telenovela and Best Non-Spanish Lead Actor for Mustafa Uğurlu.

As Turkish dramas like Gülperi, The Oath, and Bitter Lands maintain widespread popularity and acclaim, TimsB Productions repeatedly reshapes the global perception of Turkish narrative artistry and is enhancing its unmatched reputation in the international TV content market.

Currently, TimsB is actively developing four new dramas for free-to-air television, alongside three digital series set for streaming platforms, with announcements expected in the coming months. One of these digital series, the second season of Old Money, is already trending in the top 10 in 74 countries and reached the second spot among non-English series on Netflix shortly after its release.

“Our aim has never been to chase trends, but rather to create stories that retain their value for years to come,” states Timur Savcı, President of TimsB Productions. “Each of our projects centers around deeply human themes, connecting audiences no matter where they tune in from.”

Burak Sağyaşar, co-owner and CEO of the company, added, “Turkish dramas have their own rhythm; they are emotional, bold, and authentic. At TimsB Productions, we view it as our responsibility to evolve this voice while finding new ways to resonate with today’s audiences.”

With a bold creative vision, strategic global partnerships, and a robust pipeline of award-winning titles driven by prominent in-house talents, TimsB Productions stands as one of the most influential and internationally successful drama studios outside Turkey, ready to embark on further global expansions.
