Diriliş: Ertuğrul
Inspired by Ertuğrul Gazi, father of the Ottoman state's founder Osman Bey, the Turkish series Diriliş Ertuğrul (Resurrection: Ertuğrul) combines adventure, action and drama in a historical setting. Tekden Film produced it, Metin Günay directed it and Mehmet Bozdağ wrote most of it. It began on TRT 1 on December 10, 2014, and ended with its 150th episode on May 29, 2019, after five seasons. It later reached 71 countries in 25 languages.
The story is set in thirteenth-century Anatolia. Season one follows the Kayı tribe's fight against the Knights Templar in 1225 and its search for a homeland; season two turns to the Mongols. In season three the Kayı settle in western Anatolia and face the Byzantines, and the last two add Seljuk and Mongol affairs. Engin Altan Düzyatan plays Ertuğrul Bey, with Esra Bilgiç as Halime Hatun, Hülya Darcan as Hayme Ana, and Cengiz Coşkun as Turgut Alp. Kaan Taşaner and Didem Balçın also star.
Filming took place mostly in Riva, a village in Istanbul's Beykoz district, after six months of preparation. It was named best series of 2016 at the 43rd Pantene Golden Butterfly Awards, was well received in Pakistan and Azerbaijan, yet was banned in parts of the Arab world and criticized for a perceived political agenda. Kuruluş: Osman and Kuruluş: Orhan followed as continuations.
