This season, with the projects Tuzak (Trap) and Gecenin Ucunda (At the end of the Night), it has been clearly understood that foreign sales are as effective as the ratings for Turkish TV series. The Tuzak series, which was broadcast on TV8, became one of the projects that attracted great attention abroad with the influence of Akın Akınözü, who took the lead role.
tv8 had canceled the series Sıfırıncı Gün (Days Zero), which it started very ambitious, with low ratings, but the Tuzak series, which received low ratings, was able to broadcast 26 episodes. The secret of this seems to be the high sales abroad and the adoption of the project by the foreign series fans.
Another important example is the series “Gecenin Ucunda”, which was broadcast on Star TV and made its finale in the 26th episode. The reason behind the 26 episodes of the series starring Neslihan Atagül and Kadir Doğulu couple was the good international sales. Kadir Doğulu had already made statements revealing this situation.
In other words, even though both the Tuzak and the Gecenin Ucunda were getting ratings that the channels could not accept, they survived and completed a season. Now, this foreign influence seems to have opened a new door for the Adım Farah series.
The ratings of the series, in which Engin Akyürek and Demet Özdemir took the leading roles, were below the expectations. However, it is also a matter of curiosity how Fox TV will make a decision for the series, which attracts a lot of attention and has great interactions on social media.
It was reflected in the backstage that a plan was prepared for the series to complete its first season with the 14th episode and to attract the audience in the next season by broadcasting 12 more episodes.
If the Adım Farah series, which is expected to have a total of 26 episodes, can get good ratings in the second season, its broadcast time may be even longer.
One of the most important reasons behind Fox TV’s not considering giving up on the “Adim Farah” series, even if it doesn’t come true in terms of ratings, is the high interest from abroad.
With the success of Engin Akyürek and Demet Özdemir on the screen, the attractiveness of the story of the series and the high quality of shooting, it is expected that Adım Farah will meet with the audience in the next season.
It seems possible that the Adım Farah project, adapted from the series “The Cleaning Lady”, bids farewell to the audience at the end of May and starts the second season more assertively by making innovations in both the script and the cast during the summer break.
Considering the series as 26 episodes is necessary for overseas sales. However, it may take longer. For this, it seems that it will be important how the ratings will come in the second season and what point the overseas sales will reach.
It seems like the fact that the Adım Farah series, which is expected to make the season finale on May 31 with its 14th episode, attracted attention abroad, just like the Tuzak and Gecenin Ucunda projects, had an impact on the decision.
