Esra Bilgiç became a co-star of Çağatay Ulusoy

The “Fancy Scarecrow / Süslü Korkuluk” series has been perhaps the hottest topic in Turkish show business media over the past few months. And finally, we have certainty. Who will play the leading roles in the project, so expected by the Turkish audience?

The series “Fancy Scarecrow / Süslü Korkuluk”, which was bought by Netflix, seems to have received carte blanche financially. According to the well-known journalist Birsen Altuntas, instead of Alina Boz, the producers offered the main female role in the project to Esra Bilgiç, who is at the stage of signing the contract.

It should be noted that after the global success of the Resurrection Ertuğrul series, Esra is one of the most recognizable Turkish actresses in the world, so the desire of the management of the international platform to get her in the project, on which special hopes are placed, is quite understandable. Since Esra and director Cem Karci have already started following each other on Instagram, it is clear that it was she who became the co-star of Çağatay Ulusoy.

The producers also managed to come to an agreement with Salih Bademci, who, after his success last year, is one of the leading actors in Turkey. Recall that earlier it was announced that it was not possible to reach an agreement with Salih, as he prefers to work in the theater. However, as it turned out, the TV8 channel simply did not have the money for an expensive star. Unlike the TV8 channel, Netflix had enough budget for the actor who signed a contract to shoot in the series, where he will play the role of the villain Dmitry.

Olgun Şimşek will play the father of the character of Çağatay Ulusoy. Filming of the series will begin soon.
