Mother

Turkish production group Medyapim has acquired the Arabic language adaptation rights to a pair of scripted formats from Japan’s Nippon TV – Mother and Woman – My Life For My Children – to be produced for MBC in MENA.

Mother is the story of an elementary school teacher who learns that one of her students is being abused at home. Although unable to comprehend her impulse, she decides to kidnap the young, abused girl to bring up as her own.

Meanwhile, Woman – My Life For My Children tells the story of a single mother who is widowed by her beloved husband who died in an accident. Left with her two young children, she is suddenly faced with a reality as a single mother.

Medyapim previously adapted both titles for Turkey.

Ali Jaber, group director of TV and Shahid Content at MBC Group said: “This partnership between Nippon TV, Medyapim, and us at MBC GROUP signifies an exciting milestone that unites a global entertainment powerhouse with regional ones.

“We are very excited to bring the critically acclaimed stories of Mother and Woman – My Life for My Children to a wider audience, reflecting our commitment to showcasing diverse and compelling content for our loyal viewers across the MENA.”
