OGM Pictures continues its international expansion by securing a strategic development deal with Grupo Ganga, the powerhouse behind some of Spain’s most iconic scripted content.
This partnership marks a significant milestone in the “Global Drama” era, uniting two of the world’s most influential storytelling hubs: Türkiye and Spain.
The alliance focuses on developing a diverse slate of premium scripted series designed for both linear broadcasters and global streaming giants. The collaboration will take a two-pronged approach:
- Format Adaptations: Reimagining proven hits from each company’s extensive catalogs for new cultural contexts.
- Original IP Development: Crafting fresh, high-concept stories from the ground up, specifically tailored for international audiences.
By blending the emotional depth and grand scale of Turkish “dizi” traditions with the sophisticated, gritty narrative style prevalent in Spanish prestige drama, OGM and Grupo Ganga aim to create content that is locally authentic yet internationally scalable.
The partnership is a logical next step following the recent launch of OGM Pictures’ international division. It reinforces the company’s vision of moving beyond content exports toward true creative alliances that influence the global production landscape.
Onur Güvenatam, Founder and Producer of OGM Pictures, commented: “Bringing together different storytelling traditions creates new opportunities for layered and compelling narratives. Our collaboration with Grupo Ganga reflects our ambition to develop stories that can travel across borders while staying authentic to their roots.”
Miguel Angel Bernardeau, Founder and General Manager of Grupo Ganga, commented: “This union is not just an addition of teams; it is the multiplication of our creative capacity. By joining forces with OGM Pictures, we are in a privileged position to tackle larger-scale projects and international complexity.
In the same vein, Santiago Gimeno, CEO of Squirrel Studios, the group to which Ganga belongs, stated: ‘Ganga is one of the most successful production companies in Europe, renowned since its inception for the quality and leadership of its productions, and serves as one of the strongest pillars of Squirrel Studios. Combining the talent of their team with OGM Pictures’s excellence is, without a doubt, a guarantee of success.”
Berna Levin, Head of International Production at OGM Pictures, added: “Since launching our international division, our focus has been on building meaningful creative partnerships. This collaboration with Grupo Ganga reflects that vision, enabling us to develop projects with both local depth and international reach.”
Esther Sánchez, Head of International Strategy at Grupo Ganga, stated: “Partnering with a company like OGM Pictures, known for its strong creative vision and internationally resonant storytelling, creates an exciting opportunity to develop projects that can travel across borders while remaining deeply rooted in their local identity. Together, we aim to build a slate of original and impactful stories for a global audience.”
