We knew 'This Is Us' would go international. Their first stop? Turkey.

The scripted drama series is now being licensed for international markets, and Turkey has signed on to become the first local adaptation of the Dan Fogelman-created family drama. 

One of Turkey's largest content producers, MEDYAPIM, will produce the local take for FNG Turkey. Twentieth Century Fox TV Distribution will oversee the local production, which will be set in Istanbul and cover the storyline featured in the NBC hit's first season.
