This winter has been the season of law series. A new series is added to this trend that started with the Evlilik Hakkında Her Şey and Yargı and continues with the Mahkum, which will continue with the Hakim in the coming days.
According to the news of journalist Birsen Altuntaş, The Night Of series, which was broadcast on HBO in 2016, is being adapted for Turkey. The series to be shot by Limon Film is mainly a law series that takes place in the courtroom.
John Turturro, one of Hollywood’s most successful character actors, and Riz Ahmet, an actor of Pakistani origin, shared the lead roles in The Night Of, which attracted great attention and controversy when it was broadcast in the USA.
In an eight-part mini-series that delves into an imaginary murder case with a complex story in New York, the investigation and trial process of a Pakistani citizen named Nasir Khan (Riz Ahmed), who is accused of murdering a girl, was covered. In the series, attention was drawn to issues such as prejudice and racism towards Asians.
The new series, whose preparations have been started, is expected to be on the screens in the next broadcast period. It is already a matter of great curiosity who will play the successful actor John Turturro.
Law series left their mark on the 2022 broadcast period. Evlilik Hakkında Her Şey, adapted from the US-made The Split and broadcast on Fox TV, Mahkum adapted from the South Korean series Innocent Defendant, which was also broadcast on the same channel, and the original Turkish production Yargı continue to attract great attention. The US-made Your Honor adaptation of Hakim is expected to begin airing soon. This will be followed by The Night Of next season.
