What is Echo 3 Based On?
Echo 3 will be based on “When Heroes Fly“ which is an Israeli television series that was first broadcasted in the year 2018 and was created by Omri Givon. Even though When Heroes Fly isn’t a complete adaptation, it is loosely based on a book with the same title, written by Amir Gutfreund. It featured Ninet Tayeb, Tomer Kapon, Michael Aloni, and Nadav Netz. The languages used in this series were Hebrew and Spanish. It will be based on this series, and will be making use of English and Spanish.
What is the Plot of Echo 3?
Echo 3 revolves around the scientist Amber Chesborough and her abduction. Amber warns her abductors that she belongs to a dangerous family. Now, the series follows Amber’s brother and husband, who learn about her absence and make it their sole purpose to find her. Even though the two men don’t have enough help, they know they’ll find a way. The series is about them taking matters into their own hands to try and find Amber.
The duo heads to South America and the process of finding Amber uncovers a series of lies and dangers that are presented to them on the way. We are still unsure of how similar the series will be to When Heroes Fly, however, since it’s an adaptation, the viewers are in for some serious conflict and action as this is set against the backdrop of a secret war.
