Tolga Sarıtaş and Haluk Bilginer

Good news for fans of Tolga Sarıtaş and Haluk Bilginer. The actors are returning to the screens in the new series Father / Baba, which will be the most ambitious project of Show TV in 2022!

The management of Show TV, which expected to repeat the success of the series Insider / Içerde and The Pit / Çukur with the new series of Ay Yapim The Bad Penny / Üç Kuruş, is disappointed: the project is going well, but clearly does not reach the results of its predecessors. However, the producers did not give up, starting to develop a new show, the script for which is being written by the famous screenwriter of the series Çukur Gökhan Horzum. The director Çağrı Bayrak is known for his previous series My Home My Destiny and The Daydreamer.

The project was originally called One Sudden Night / Bir Gece Ansızın, but then changed the title to Father / Baba. The series stars Haluk Bilginer and Tolga Sarıtaş. Curiously, Haluk is the only Emmy International winner in Turkey, while Tolga was an Emmy nominee. It seems that by deciding to invite two big stars to the show at once, the producers went all-in.

The series will tell the story of members of the Saruhanlı family, who were separated by a plane crash.  Zeynep Tuğçe Bayat, Beril Pozam, Taner Rumeli and Özge Özacar are in the cast of the TV show. Damla Su İkizoğlu, known from the TV series For my family / Kardeşlerim, also joined the cast. It is not yet known whether she will become a co-star of Tolga Sarıtaş or play the sister of the protagonist.

The first teaser, which was released yesterday, caused a lot of hype on social media. The series will be released in early 2022 and will be one of the most ambitious projects of the new television season.
