MIAMI, Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Kanal D Drama continues to lead by being recognized as the channel par excellence that presents the best premieres of captivating Turkish series fully dubbed into Spanish. In November Kanal D Drama will launch the exciting medical drama "Hekimoglu" in the Spanish-speaking market in the U.S. The series debuts on Tuesday, November 16, with an exclusive presentation of the show's virtual premiere on Facebook on Monday, November 15 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern / 6:00 p.m. Pacific.

"Audiences have always had a thing for medical dramas on television for decades, and now more than ever in a post pandemic era. In this series the main character inspired by the award-winning medical drama Dr. House, plays a sarcastic and antisocial doctor. Dr. Hekimoglu, while unlikeable, is a genius, and he develops a great reputation for solving the most perplexing medical cases. I'm sure this captivating drama will resonate with the Hispanic audience from the first episode," said Francheska León de la Barra, Marketing Director for Kanal D Drama in the U.S. and LatAm.

"Hekimoglu" is an adaptation of the famous U.S. series "House, M.D." The Turkish version features Timuçin Esen (Cruzando Mares) in the lead role of Dr. Ateş Hekimoglu, a renowned physician in infectious diseases and nephrology. Each episode of the series follows this exceptional doctor, with his somewhat gruff and antisocial character, who is as witty as he is arrogant, leading a team of young doctors, who do everything possible to help their patients and solve the puzzling medical cases that arrive at the hospital.

"Hekimoglu" premieres in the U.S. on Kanal D Drama on November 16. It will air Monday through Friday at 8:20 p.m. Eastern / 5:20 p.m. Pacific via Xfinity and Verizon FiOS (channel 1586), and it will also be available for streaming via Kanal D Drama's app. Watch the official trailer here: https://youtu.be/Doy8915Hiec
