An untimely deceased actor, a long-awaited wedding, the battle for ratings — news from the world of Turkish TV series

Another eventful week has passed in the world of Turkish TV series. Lead roles for new projects were determined, famous actors celebrated their long-awaited weddings, and the artistic community faced a heavy loss. At the same time, the battle for ratings is becoming increasingly fierce. Let's recall together what has happened in Turkish show business over the last seven days.

In the coming days, filming will begin on a new Turkish TV series titled "Dry Summer" ("Qurg‘oqchil yoz"). This film is an adaptation of Necati Cumalı's famous novel. It has been revealed that the lead roles will be played by Mert Ramazan Demir and Lizge Cömert. Earlier, it was reported that Kaan Urgancıoğlu might play the role of Osman's brother (Mert Ramazan's character), but it was later confirmed that the character of Hasan will be portrayed on screen by Batuhan Bozkurt Yüzgüleç, who played Firuz in the series "Cranberry Sherbet" ("Qizil sharbat").

Last week, the world of Turkish show business said goodbye to two bachelors at once. First, Serkay Tütüncü held a lavish wedding in the city of Çeşme. Zeynep Bastık, whom he met two years ago, became his wife. The Turkish actor had proposed to his beloved in Paris.

On September 4, Burak Yörük and Tuana Yılmaz published their wedding photos. The celebration took place in the Italian town of Tivoli, near Rome. The ceremony was held at the historic San Bernardino Palace.

Turkish actors continue to express their condolences to the family of Mustafa Serhat Kılıç following his untimely death. Currently, a criminal case has been opened regarding this situation under the article of "suspicious death." According to the deceased actor's partner, Kılıç had complained of severe pain in recent days due to a cervical disc herniation and had not been in touch for the last few days. It was Özlem Esmergül who found Mustafa Serhat's body. Many colleagues, friends, and acquaintances of the Turkish TV series star honored his memory, emphasizing that the actor's death is an irreplaceable loss.

The premiere of the third season of the series "Distant City" ("Olis shahar") will take place on September 14. However, viewers can watch the final episode of the second season on September 7. According to some Turkish series fans, the creators of "Distant City" are deliberately rebroadcasting the final episode, because the premiere of a new series titled "Marriage" ("Nikoh") will take place on that very day. A fierce battle for ratings is beginning.
