In "Kuruluş Osman," significant departures are occurring before the new season. Following Burak Özçivit, who plays Osman Bey, the young actress Leya Kırşan, who portrayed Fatma Hatun, has also left the cast. Bülent İşbilen has been appointed as the director. With a time jump, the cast is largely being renewed.
The series "Kuruluş Osman," shaken by Burak Özçivit's departure, continues its preparations for the new season without slowing down. The beloved period drama on ATV screens will greet its audience with a profound change in its 7th season. The new season will feature a time jump, focusing on the founding years of the Ottoman Empire and its initial institutionalization process.
SEARCH FOR A NEW LEAD: THE PRODUCTION TEAM IS WORKING HARD
In the production signed by Bozdağ Film, discussions are ongoing with a new name for the lead role. According to insider information, the production team is searching for an actor who can reflect the historical texture and establish a strong connection with the audience. While it is stated that some names from the old cast will continue, many new characters will be added to the series.
YOUNG STAR SAYS GOODBYE
Among the notable young actors of the series, Leya Kırşan will be one of the names leaving the project due to the time jump. The 17-year-old Kırşan, who played the character Fatma Hatun, will not be part of the team in the 7th season, where ages will be increased. This departure has already become a topic of discussion among the series' young audience.
CHANGE IN THE DIRECTOR'S CHAIR
One of the most significant developments of the new season is the change of director. After the team that directed the series for five seasons, Bülent İşbilen, who recently gained attention with the series "Prens," will take the director's chair. İşbilen's storytelling power, especially in dramatic scenes, is expected to be one of the elements that will mark the new era.
