Ezel, one of the unforgettable productions of the Turkish TV series world, is still remembered. Ezel, which was adapted into a TV series in The Count of Monte Cristo, became a turning point in the Turkish TV series industry. Now, a brand new project is coming from Kerem Deren, the scriptwriter of this successful series. A world-renowned actor will take the lead role in the series.
The Ezel series, directed by Uluç Bayraktar, was broadcast in a single season in 2009. The very strong cast of the series consisted of successful names such as Kenan İmirzalıoğlu, Cansu Dere, Yiğit Özşener, Barış Falay, Tuncel Kurtiz and Haluk Bilginer.
Ezel’s unforgettable story was written by screenwriter Kerem Deren. Kerem Deren is now getting ready to bring another big project to the screen.
According to the news of journalist Birsen Altuntaş, Kerem Deren is writing the script of the series, which will be shot for Disney Plus, which is preparing to meet the Turkish audience in August, and starring Can Yaman. Ay Yapım is the producer of the series.
There is no detailed information about the new series yet. The series will be a production that will bring Can Yaman, who has been working abroad for a year, to the Turkish audience again after a long time.
The actor, who has a large fan base especially in Italy thanks to the TV series Erkenci Kuş, Dolunay and Bay Yanlış, in which he acted in Turkey, settled in this country about a year ago upon the proposal of the TV series. Can Yaman’s goal of going to Italy was to play the leading role in the TV series Sandokan. However, the shooting of Sandokan was shelved when the pandemic broke out.
Disney Plus made its first deal from Turkey with Engin Akyürek. The shooting of the TV series Kaçış, in which Engin Akyürek both takes the lead and wrote the story, still continues in Gaziantep. In another series to be shot for the digital platform, the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk will be told. Aras Bulut Iynemli will portray Atatürk in the series.
