Sefirin Kızı , which end on Star TV screens with its second season, remained on the screen for a total of 52 episodes. The series, which started in the lead role of Neslihan Atagül and Engin Akyürek, continued with the participation of Tuba Büyüküstün after Atagül’s departure in February 2021 due to health problems she experienced.
Tuba Büyüküstün was brought to the series like a savior… In other words, the series was already in a downward trend, trying to save the series by paying a big price to Tuba Büyüküstün in order not to hit the bottom with Neslihan Atagül’s departure. The underlying reason for this selection was the effect of the series Kara Para Aşk, which gained great success 6 years ago… It was calculated that the reunion of Engin Akyürek and Tuba Büyüküstün, who played the leading roles in Kara Para Aşk, which was very popular all over the world, would make a leap in rating.
However, the account in the house did not fit the market. Social media has exploded. When Tuba and Engin met again, the fans of the series were very pleased with this situation. It was an opportunity, especially for foreigners …
However, as the Turkish audience looked at the power and effectiveness of the story, the ratings dropped even more. So Tuba Büyüküstün was not a solution. This revealed a truth. It is unrealistic to look at famous names, old works and create a formula and think that the new formula will pass to the audience and the projects will survive.
Sina Kologlu, one of the writers of Milliyet Cadde, pointed out this situation with the following statement:
“The other final making “Sefirin KIzı”. Engin Akyürek and Tuba Büyüküstün, the most popular duo in the history of the series, who received a lot of requests to play together, were not enough to save. “
