The first episode of the Kaçış (Escape) series met with the audience with the release of Disney Plus on June 14 in Turkey. The fact that a story he wrote in 2017 was scripted and turned into a TV series years later and that this project was the first domestic production of Disney Plus in Turkey was a source of great pride for Engin Akyürek.
The famous actor has not been on the agenda in recent months and is heavily supported by a large fan base, especially on social media. The Escape series was also eagerly awaited all over the world at this point, and with the release of the first episode, comments began to come.
Engin Akyürek said that although he is still very new, he is satisfied with the comments he received. The famous actor said, “It has just been aired, but there are very good reactions. Escape is an 8-part adventure. The first part has been published. After 8 episodes, we will truly understand the reaction of the audience.”
With these words, the actor asked those who watched the first episode and commented, to wait for the whole project.
Engin Akyürek, who portrayed a war correspondent in the TV series Escape, shot in Gaziantep, shared the lead role with İrem Helvacıoğlu. The actor thinks that the 8-episode series is a different business and it turned out well.
Engin Akyürek said, “We are very excited, I think we did a good job. We believed together. I hope the journey of Escape at Disney will be very good,” he said.
Engin Akyürek pointed out the importance of Disney Plus making its first project in Turkey with him. He gave the following answer to the question:
“I hope so, I would love to. Because Disney’s success is very valuable for me, for the country, and for the industry. Of course, there is also responsibility for this, since it is the first job. We tried to do something good because we knew this responsibility and felt them. It also had advantages. Too much responsibility. For myself, for the team, we did a good job.”
Expressing that the people around him made positive comments about the series, the famous actor stated that real reactions will emerge at the end of eight episodes. Engin Akyürek explained that they are doing a different job and that he would like Escape to pay for it, and stated that he is considering resting a bit about a new project.
While Engin Akyürek stated that he has been working hard for the last 3 years and that he can take a break, he said, “Sometimes, when there is a good job, you start right away,” and that if there is a good project, he can go on the set again.
