Turkish broadcaster Fox Turkey will screen a local drama series using original Neighbours scripts.

To be known as Komşular, the series will will be set in a fictional suburb of Istanbul called Karanfil Yokuşu. Produced by No:9 Productions, it will be based on original Neighbours storylines from 2012 onwards, when the Turner and Willis families joined Ramsay Street.

Drama operations executive Erdi Isiky said: “Komşular, the Turkish version of Neighbours by No:9 Productions and directed by Canan Evcimen and Göksel Aydın, will launch on Fox Turkey on November 6.

“Much like the original series that is loved by audiences far and wide, the first global adaptation includes a brilliant cast and will be sure to capture Fox audiences across Turkey.”

Komşular’s director Canan Evcimen added: “By coming to Turkey, the legendary drama series Neighbours continues to grow its global audience, which has been established in more than 60 countries.

“Komşular will be an essential guest in the houses of Turkish audiences, thanks to its strong storyline combined [with] a warm local feel.”
