Premiering on Show TV in Türkiye in mid-September in 2024, the original Valley of Hearts quickly established itself as one of the most-watched dramas of the season, a testament to its compelling narrative. Distributed globally by Inter Medya, the series made its worldwide launch at MIPCOM 2024.

In May 2025, the series made a successful debut in Italy as La Notte nel Cuore on Canale 5. And week after week, the series has consistently held its place as one of the country’s most-watched prime-time programs. Its journey through Latin America started in Panama as Corazón Negro and continued with sales to Ecuador and Honduras. In July 2025, the drama debuted in Chile and instantly became the most-watched program in its category, boasting an impressive average of 701,238 viewers per minute.

With its universal appeal and strong storytelling, Valley of Hearts has been sold in more than 40 countries, reaching territories such as Eastern and Southern Europe, MENA, Russia & CIS, South Africa, and Latin America.

To see the Greek adaptation up close, we visited the beautifully green and peaceful Athens suburb of Kifisia. From the moment we stepped onto the set, the warmth of the cast and crew was evident. The atmosphere combined professional focus with genuine hospitality, reflecting both the scale of the production and the close collaboration within the team.

Premiering on October 6 on Greece’s Alpha TV as Na M’Agapas (Love Me), the series follows abandoned twins who, years later, set out to find their mother and confront long-buried family secrets. For us, the visit offered more than just a glimpse behind the scenes, it was a strong reminder of how deeply the two cultures remain connected, how stories can unite us across languages, and how the heartbeat of both shores continues to echo as one.

Now, it’s time to hear from the talented actors bringing this story to life.
