The problems experienced in the economy were also reflected in the TV series, and at this point, the crisis in the TV series Süslü Korkuluk seemed to herald the problems that may occur in the future.
It has been announced that the series starring Çağatay Ulusoy and Alina Boz duo will be broadcast on tv8 first. Even the first trailer was shared. Those who watched the trailer on New Year’s Eve and were eagerly waiting for the series were stunned by the crisis. It was even said that the series could be canceled for a while.
The underlying cause of this entire crisis was economic. Because an episode reached a very high figure of 2 million TL, and no television broadcaster, including tv8, was in a position to meet such a budget…
It turned out that talks were made with Disney Plus and then contacts were made with Netflix. Of course, this was an important step for the series not to be cancelled. The Süslü Korkuluk series is finally on Netflix. An official announcement is expected soon. Çağatay Ulusoy and Alina Boz fans are at least happy that the series will be published.
Of course, these developments were demoralizing for those who do not have a Netflix subscription and who are excited to watch the series on TV.
Producing strong stories like Süslü Korkuluk that brings good actors together in the coming period will put a lot of pressure on television channels in terms of cost.
Because channels that do not have any income other than advertising income can cause great losses due to such productions if the ratings are low.
We’ve seen examples of this. Last season, Masumiyet and Kanunsuz Topraklar this season were forced to cancel because they caused damage. Many similar series are also canceled due to low ratings, but the problem is greater for productions with very high budgets.
The economic reality, which is the reason why television channels cannot approach the Süslü Korkuluk series, brings with it the risk that many series will not be broadcast on the television screen in the coming period.
In fact, this crisis seems to be the harbinger of bigger crises to come.
