The TV series Sevdam Karadeniz, starring Meltem Akçöl and Erdem Adilce, faced claims of an early finale after failing to enter the top 10 due to the ratings drop it experienced in its second episode.
Broadcast on NOW TV screens and starring Meltem Akçöl and Erdem Adilce, the series "Sevdam Karadeniz" was a complete disappointment with its Episode 2 ratings results. The low ratings received by the production, which failed to enter the top 10 against its strong competitors, brought early finale comments on social media.
RATINGS HIT ROCK BOTTOM IN EPISODE 1
Competing on the same day with ambitious productions such as "Uzak Şehir" and "Altı Üstü İstanbul", Sevdam Karadeniz experienced a 0.27-point drop compared to the previous week with its Episode 2, which aired on Monday, October 19, 2026, receiving a 1.84 rating and a 4.86% share in the Total group. The project received a 1.04 rating in the AB group and remained at a 1.58 rating in the ABC1 category.
EARLY FINALE TALK ON SOCIAL MEDIA
After the series failed to achieve the expected breakthrough in the ratings list and remained in the lower ranks, comments from viewers on social media did not take long. Users evaluating the results posted comments such as "It will end early", "The competitors are strong, it's not being watched", "Unfortunately the end of the road came very early", "Nope, this series didn't catch on" and "I wouldn't be surprised if it gives a finale next week".
IT HAD MADE HEADLINES WITH LEAD ROLE CRISES
The series, which had a painful start to its broadcasting life, had also drawn attention with the cast changes experienced before its screen journey even began. When first announced, it was stated that Emre Bey and Aslıhan Malbora would star, but shortly afterwards both names left the project. Then Damlasu İkizoğlu's lead role, after joining the cast, also did not last long, and finally the choice settled on the pair Meltem Akçöl and Erdem Adilce.
