Halit Ergenç to star in the series “If the King Loses”?

Halit Ergenç

The series “If the King Loses” by OGM Pictures, with which Star TV signed a content agreement three years ago, is generating significant interest among Turkish viewers.

The series is based on the book by Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu, and work on it has been ongoing since 2017. Last season, the project was postponed due to difficulties in forming the cast. It is currently under reconsideration at OGM Pictures, and negotiations are underway with Turkish stars.

Rumors suggest that the Taylan brothers, known for series like “Magnificent Century” and “My Homeland is You,” could direct the series, which is scripted by Ertan Kurtulan, and Halit Ergenç might play the leading role. It will be interesting to see if these rumors are confirmed and whether the story of Kenan, a man with a narcissistic character raised by his mother as a king, whose life changes drastically after meeting Fadi and falling in love with her, will be successfully adapted to the screen.
