Platforms such as Netflix, Globoplay, and Amazon Prime Video play a fundamental role in this expansion, offering increasingly popular Turkish titles to the Brazilian audience.
The growth of Turkish soap operas on streaming
The advancement of Turkish soap operas follows a global trend of consuming international content. With algorithms that recommend series based on user preferences, these productions have quickly reached new audiences.
In Brazil, this movement is even stronger because the format of Turkish soap operas is very similar to Brazilian soap operas: long episodes, strong emotional charge, and focus on human relationships.
Another relevant factor is the ability to watch on demand, allowing audiences to binge-watch episodes — something that has significantly increased engagement.
