The central geographical position of MENA, its deep-rooted historical and cultural connections, and the large number of expats living and working in the area all help to understand why watching TV drama is so rich and diverse in the Middle East. Since about 2005, the Turkish series (dizi) has been extremely successful in the country, generating huge revenue for Turkish producers and distributors.
In the last two years, due to a revival in local production and due to Turkey’s political support for Qatar, this situation has changed somewhat, leading to the Saudi-backed MBC pulling Turkish material off-air. However, local research indicates that MENA viewers still enjoy dizis and watch them via online platforms such as Starz Play and Turkish channels.
