The most important thing for the Destan (Epic) series to stand out and continue in the second season is to raise the curiosity of the audience. For this reason, if the series continues with the pace and character sequence of the first season, it will not be possible to survive in the second season.
For whom are the audience watching the Destan series? The answer to this question is clear; For Ebru Şahin… Ebru Şahin, who has done a very successful job in the Hercai series, withdrew her decision to rest when the story of a heroine living in the eighth century came and started the Destan series.
Ebru Şahin went through a very intense and demanding education process and took lessons continuously for one season. The actress, who showed the benefits of these trainings with her outstanding performance on the set, had her fans watch a strong female character that they never expected.
Edip Tepeli, partner of Ebru Şahin, was chosen from among 3 different candidates. However, it was also claimed that Edip Tepeli would not be in the second season of the series and that another famous name would accompany Ebru Şahin. This claim may have been denied by the producer’s statement, but the departure of another leading actor, Selim Bayraktar, surprised everyone.
Selim Bayraktar, who said that he was very tired in the series and deserved a vacation, had never brought up the issue of separation. Therefore, the audience thought that the actor would continue.
However, the departure of Selim Bayraktar in the Destan series will actually lead to a good result. Because the story had two titles. In other words, a very strong Alpagu character was created against Akkız and Batuga in terms of power. This power struggle actually overshadowed the Akkız character, who should be the most prominent in the series.
Here, the separation of Selim Bayraktar, taken in the Destan series, should actually be seen as a strategic step in the story. Because now, Akkız and Batuga will be the strongest character and the one driving your story. The second season, which will be built on this duo, may also be watched more than the first season.
