MIPCOM 2024: Kanal D International Makes Waves with Secrets of Pearls and My Mother’s Tale

There’s a famous saying, “Go big or go home,” and for Kanal D International, MIPCOM was the perfect opportunity to go big—and they certainly did.

On the second day of MIPCOM festivities, the stars of Kanal D International’s “Secrets of Pearls” (İnci Taneleri) and “My Mother’s Tale” (Annem Ankara) flocked along the Croisette, donned in the best outfits as they posed for press from around the world.

Later that evening, as part of Kanal D International’s “Meet Our Stars” event, Yılmaz Erdoğan, Hazar Ergüçlü, Selma Ergeç, and Kubilay Aka took to the stage at Cannes’ Majestic Hotel to provide insights on their characters in “Secrets of Pearls.”

In a panel moderated by C21 Magazine’s Fabricio Ferrara, Erdoğan, who created and also pens the series, described the series with such palpable passion, urging international viewers not to miss the series as they “would not regret it.”

As the audience giggled at jokes about Kubilay Aka being the king of spoilers, Hazar Ergüçlü spoke a bit about her famed dance scenes, which she pointed out take hours and hours of hard work. “I can’t wait to perform it everywhere, but it’s exhausting. It’s not an easy place to stay for 10 hours,” she stated.

As the mic made its way through the panel, one thing was made clear: the incredible job Yılmaz Erdoğan didin writing the series could not be understated.

An Exclusive Look at My Mother’s Tale

The “Meet Our Stars” event also served up an exclusive look at the new series My Mother’s Tale, which will premiere in November on Kanal D. Even though the clip shown was so short, it was easy to understand why starsBergüzar Korel and Mehmet Günsür agreed to return to Istanbul to film the series.

The beautifully shot trailer previewed the life of Zuhal (Korel), a resilient mother of three who wears many hats to provide for her family, having married the good-for-nothing Hasan (Günsür).

Korel described her character as a strong, independent woman who she hopes will instill in the audience the zeal to never give up and not lose hope. Günsür, on the other hand, pointed out that his character Hasan was very different from the repertoire of accomplished characters he had played in the past, but he welcomed the challenge of playing Hasan, stating that many will see themselves in Hasan, albeit his problematic ways.
