The broadcast date of GAIN’s new series, Aslında Özgürsün (You Actually Free), was announced as Monday, May 9th. Deniz Çakır and Bade İşcil star in the series, which is adapted from the novel of the same name by journalist and writer Duygu Asena, who devoted her life and pen to the liberation of women. The production, which tells the search for freedom and identity of two childhood friends named Belgin and Berna, aims to bring innovative perspectives to relationships and life. In fact, Zuhal Olcay, a master actress in the series Aslında Özgürsün, plays Asena herself.
“Actually You’re Free”, which has the same name with the gripping work of journalist-author Duygu Asena, who is one of the first names to make the issue of women’s rights popular in Turkey with her writings and ideas, has been adapted as a serial for the digital platform GAIN. The first episode of the series, which has been introduced for a while and is eagerly awaited by the audience, will be broadcast on May 9.
The series, which will meet the audience as a GAIN Original production, tells the search for freedom and identity of two women, Belgin and Berna, in their 40s, who oppose the rules imposed by society and men. Belgin and Berna, childhood friends, have to struggle with similar problems even though they live different lives in different environments in their adulthood.
Deniz Çakır is strong and in the role of a woman.
Last year, Deniz Çakır, who appeared in front of the audience with Masumiyet (Innocence) last year, appears in front of her fans with a different female character in Aslında Özgürsın. Çakır plays Berna, who is “in love with love” as described in Duygu Asena’s work, but who relies only on herself in life.

The beautiful actress Bade İşcil, who has appeared in famous productions such as Ezel, Kuzey Güney, Ufak Tefek Cinayetler and will share the lead role with Deniz Çakır, plays Belgin, who is devoted to her husband and two children and starts to fall in love with a free-spirited man she has just met while she thought that was her dream.
