The state censor RTUK believes that the ideal length of a season is 24-25 episodes. If there are more, it may indicate the channel and producers’ desire to earn more money. In about a month and a week, the seasons of many series, such as “Leyla,” “The Nightfall,” “Valley of the Hearts,” and “Genius,” as well as other ongoing projects, will come to an end.

Fatih Gühan, who plays the character İlhami in the series “Cranberry Sherbet,” gave an interview to the newspaper Posta, where he answered a question about his character’s possible feelings for Nursema. “I think about it myself, but the script hasn’t given me an answer yet. One thing I can say for sure: İlhami has experienced a great loss—his wife died in a car accident on their wedding day. After that, his heart closed. In the last episode, Nursema boldly opened that door, but the one behind it is not ready yet…”
