As the ratings war continues in the television world, surprising final decisions have come one after another. The end date of the screen adventure has been finalized for "Delikanlı", "Kıskanmak", "Cennetin Çocukları", and "Kuruluş Orhan", which started with great expectations. It is being discussed that the productions were taken off the air due to low ratings and high costs.
Four productions that draw attention with their ambitious stories and strong casts in the new season have received the final decision. The fierce ratings competition on television screens has shortened the lifespan of some series. Channels have made consecutive final decisions for productions that failed to reach expected viewership rates.
HERE ARE THE 4 SERIES BIDDING FAREWELL TO THE SCREENS:
The dates for the series that will air their final episodes have also been clarified.
- Monday, May 18: Delikanlı
- Tuesday, May 19: Kıskanmak
- Monday, June 8: Cennetin Çocukları
- Wednesday, June 10: Kuruluş Orhan
“DELİKANLI” BECAME A RATINGS VICTIM
“Delikanlı,” which made a strong start to the season, failed to achieve the desired rise in ratings despite expectations. It was learned that the series, broadcast on Monday evenings, particularly fell short of targeted viewership rates against “Uzak Şehir.” It was stated that the channel management made the final decision for this reason.
SECOND SEASON PLAN FOR “KISKANMAK” CANCELLED
“Kıskanmak,” broadcast on NOW channels, was among the projects that drew attention at the start of the season. It was stated that the production, which created great expectations with its strong cast and story, experienced a ratings decline in later episodes.
It was alleged that a second season was planned for the series, but this decision was cancelled at the final stage. “Kıskanmak” will air its final episode with the 33rd episode broadcast on May 19, 2026.
END OF THE ROAD FOR “CENNETİN ÇOCUKLARI”
“Cennetin Çocukları,” starring Burak Serdar Şanal and Buse Meral, also joined the list of productions that received the final decision. It was learned that the series, which failed to achieve the expected ratings success, will bid farewell to the screens.
“KURULUŞ ORHAN” HIT BY HIGH COSTS
It was alleged that high production costs were influential in the final decision for Kuruluş Orhan, a period drama prepared with a large budget. It is being discussed that the project was not sustainable due to the series failing to reach the expected double-digit ratings.
Meanwhile, it was noteworthy that the story continued under the name “Kuruluş Orhan” following the departure of Burak Özçivit, who played the lead role in the series' predecessor, Kuruluş Osman. Although a new era began with Mert Yazıcıoğlu taking the lead role, it was stated that this change did not reflect positively on the ratings.
