Birce Akalay: The Finale of the Series and a New Beginning
Birce Akalay has encountered several significant milestones in her professional life this week, including the premature termination of a television show and the start of a series on the digital platform.
Birce Akalay faced a disappointing setback as her series “I Have a Problem,” aired on Channel D, failed to compete in the ratings and concluded prematurely after the sixth episode. It is noteworthy that the show received high praise for its storyline related to youth issues and became a socially significant endeavor for the actress. However, the rating system became the reason for its early termination.
Despite the disappointment, the actress was pleased with the continued interest of Turkish viewers in the Netflix series “As the crow flies / Kuş Uçuşu” whose second season premiered on the platform on December 14. Before the highly anticipated second season, Birce Akalay, İbrahim Çelikkol, Miray Daner, and Şifanur Gül gathered for a festive dinner, preceded by a brief interview with the Turkish press.
Journalists noted the close relationship between İbrahim and Birce, emphasizing their friendship over many years. İbrahim showered compliments on his co-star, calling her the most precious and dear.
While the second season of the series started slightly lower on the platform than the first, making it into the top 10 in 5 countries (the first season debuted in the top 10 in 20 countries), it still has time to captivate international audiences with new plot twists and the rivalry between the characters Lale and Aslı.
