Will Golden Boy be cancelled?

Golden Boy

Over the past week, Turkish social networks have reported a scandal involving the Golden Boy series, which could lead to the show‘s closure. How accurate is this report, and what is the actual situation?

Last week, Turkish media reported that the writer Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu is unhappy with the developments in the Golden Boy series and allegedly wants to take away the rights to continue working on the show from the production company. Moreover, Mrs. Gülseren allegedly even met with the management of the Star TV channel, stating that she was not satisfied with the script. At the same time, the tabloids without hesitation referred to social media users who gave them this information.

The well–known journalist, Sina Koloğlu, decided to look into what was happening, stating that all the information that Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu allegedly demands to complete the Golden Boy series, as she is dissatisfied with the script, is not true. Mrs. Gülseren takes an active role in the development of the script and makes changes at her discretion. She is highly regarded in the company that produces the series, and she pays attention to the smallest detail. She has never expressed any dissatisfaction with the work of the screenwriters.

It should be noted that Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu cannot, in principle, take away the rights from the company, as she is one of the owners of OGM Pictures, which produces the series. It seems that all these crazy ideas are born in the imaginations of the fans of the show, who are not satisfied with the development of events. At the same time, “Golden Boy“ continues to be the most popular TV series in Turkey, leading the ratings; this means that its producers are not only satisfied with everything that happens, but are very glad about the results.
