The audience has been glued for years to Turkish historical series—from Diriliş: Ertuğrul to Kuruluş: Osman. And now, one more gripping chapter is unfolding!
The Legacy Continues with Orhan Gazi
Bozdağ Film, the production company responsible for Turkey’s massive historical hits, has just made a big announcement: Mert Yazıcıoğlu will be Orhan Bey, the son of Osman Bey, in a new series.
The official statement reads:
“A new era is beginning with Orhan! Mert Yazıcıoğlu will portray Orhan Bey, the son of Osman Bey. Welcome, Mert Yazıcıoğlu!”
So we understand that the saga will no longer be about Osman, but about his son—Orhan Gazi, the second ruler of the Ottoman Empire and one of its key figures, will be the focus.
Who Is Mert Yazıcıoğlu?
Mert Yazıcıoğlu is an up-and-coming actor from Turkey who is known for his compelling screen presence and emotional depth. The decision to cast him as Orhan Bey suggests that the forthcoming play will be both shocking and warm-hearted. And the fans are not wrong—they cannot wait to see him perform.
What can we expect from the Orhan series?
Though the specifics remain a mystery, the mood of the news—”a new era begins”—signals that this is not merely a sequel to Kuruluş: Osman but rather a standalone show that starts where Osman’s ends.
Be ready for:
• A more detailed view of Orhan’s ruling and the early expansion of the Ottoman Empire
• Intrigue, fights, and the dynamics of a strong family.
• New cast members, places, and historical turns.
Why This Matters
The story of Orhan Gazi is very important to understand how a small principality turned into an empire. During his reign, Bursa was conquered, and the first institutions were established. Presenting his biography on the big screen will be a delight for not only history enthusiasts but also drama lovers.
Final Thoughts
Fans of Turkish historical series will be celebrating this news. Mert Yazıcıoğlu taking over the role of Orhan Bey means we are all ready to go on another thrilling trip through history.
