What Awaits Viewers in the New Season of “Midnight at the Pera Palace”?
Hazal Kaya returns in the second season of the Netflix series “Midnight at the Pera Palace,” despite significant criticism of the first season. The first season, released in 2022, received mixed reviews for its script and historical inaccuracies but gained popularity due to its original concept and cast.
The series is based on the book of the same name by Charles King and follows the adventures of journalist Esra, who travels through time via the magical Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul. In the first season, the action takes place in the 1920s, where Esra encounters historical figures and political intrigues.
In the second season, set to premiere on September 12, 2024, the story continues with new plot twists and timelines, including the characters’ journey to the year 1941. Tansu Biçer and Selahattin Paşalı also play leading roles in the project. The series will be available for viewing worldwide on Netflix.
It is expected that the second season will correct the shortcomings of the first and offer viewers a more engaging and high-quality story. The creators of the series also promise a more detailed immersion into the historical context and character development, which may attract a new audience and satisfy existing fans.
