In the history of Turkish TV series, productions about doctors have always attracted attention, and at this point, the series Doktorlar (Doctors), in which many names have become popular, is among the unforgettable.
The Mucize Doktor (Miracle Doctor) series was also such a successful production that its success beyond the borders of Turkey was always talked about. The magnificent performance of Taner Ölmez in the character of Ali Vefa was one of the most important reasons for the success.
The new expansion to the doctor series came thanks to TRT1, and the Kasaba Doktoru (Town Doctor) series starring Ozan Akbaba also got good results. Although the Kasaba Doktoru series, which left the first season behind, had a little less impact than expected, it is possible to get better ratings in the second season.
It was a handicap for the series to be broadcast towards the end of the season, that is, at a time when the viewers on the screen were very low. Kasaba Doktoru, starring Hazal Subaşı, Vildan Atasever and Deniz Can Aktaş, is an ambitious project to achieve much better ratings in the second season.
In the new season, it will be a new step for O3 Medya to appear with Yeni Istanbul (New İstanbul) as the domestic version of the New Amsterdam series. It seems unlikely that the Kasaba Doktoru series will reach the point where the Mucize Doktor has reached. However, the conditions seem suitable for the Yeni Istanbul series in the new winter season, which will start in September.
After Tansel Öngel’s successful debut in the Masumlar Apartmanı (Innocent Apartment) project, it was a development that pleased his fans that he would appear in the Yeni Istanbul TV series. The producer, who tried to add Ulaş Tuna Astepe, who left the Barbaroslar series, to the project, showed that he played great with this move.
Ulaş Tuna Astepe, who is still in our memories with the character of Tahir in the Sen Anlat Karadeniz TV series, did not get the results he expected in the Barbaroslar series on the TRT1 screen.
The series debuted well at first, but at the end of the season there was a great loss of interest. Ulaş Tuna Astepe, who left the Barbaroslar during the renewal process, has started negotiations, which shows that he wants to be on the television screen again in the new season.
O3 Media, which has taken ambitious steps regarding the cast of the Yeni Istanbul series, will refer to the great popularity of the Mucize Doktor series. After all, if a doctor series is to be made, the goal of every producer will be to repeat or surpass the success of Mucize Doktor.
