After Burak Özçivit's departure, the series "Kuruluş Osman," which is searching for a new lead actor, has reached an agreement with Mert Yazıcıoğlu for the role of Orhan Bey. The production will enter a new era with a time jump, and significant changes will take place.
The series "Kuruluş Osman," shaken by Burak Özçivit's farewell, continues to strengthen its cast ahead of the 7th season. Young actor Mert Yazıcıoğlu has joined the beloved period drama on ATV screens. Yazıcıoğlu, who drew attention with his performance in the series "Kızıl Goncalar" last season, will this time portray the character of Orhan Bey.
MAJOR CHANGE WITH TIME JUMP
In the production signed by Bozdağ Film, there will be a significant time jump in the new season. The series will focus on the early institutionalization years of the Ottoman Empire. With this change, a profound transformation in both the story and the cast will meet the audience.
NEW ERA AFTER BURAK ÖZÇİVİT
Burak Özçivit, who has been the lead of the series since 2019, parted ways with the production due to a salary dispute of 4 million TL per episode. The production company has reached an agreement with Cihan Ünal to portray the elderly version of Osman Bey. The center of the new era will be the character of Orhan Bey, the son of Osman Bey. Bozdağ Film, which consulted many actors for this role, ultimately decided in favor of Mert Yazıcıoğlu. The announcement was made through the company's social media accounts.
YOUNG ACTORS SAYING GOODBYE
Due to the time jump, some characters are being bid farewell. One of them is young actress Leya Kırşan, who plays the character of Fatma Hatun. The 17-year-old Kırşan has said goodbye to the project because the character of Fatma Hatun, who will transition to an older version, will be portrayed by another actress in the new season.
