Nazlı Tosunoğlu — Biography

Nazlı Tosunoğlu is best known as Nazike Özçaylan in Arka Sokaklar, one of Turkish television's longest-running series. She played the character from 2009 to 2026, and the role was the biggest breakthrough of her career. An actress of stage, television and film, she joined the cast of a new comedy series, Tuzlu Kahve, in 2026.

She entered the stage through small roles in amateur theater companies and turned professional while working with groups such as Tiyatrokare and BKM; Hisseli Harikalar Kumpanyası is among her plays. She has been in front of the camera since 1995: her television path began with Oğlum Adam Olacak, İkinci Bahar gave her her first breakout, and Yabancı Damat continued it.

Their work through different eyes

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Nazlı Tosunoğlu's filmography is mostly comedy: Düğün Dernek, Sağ Salim, Ay Lav Yu. The exception is Hiçbiryerde, Tayfun Pirselimoğlu's first film, a heavy, political story about a woman at a Haydarpaşa ticket window searching for her missing son. Anyone who wants to see Tosunoğlu outside comedy should, in my view, begin there.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Nazlı Tosunoğlu's weight on television is Nazike Özçaylan in Arka Sokaklar: the same character from 2009 to 2026, in the longest-running weekly production on Turkish television. It is also the turning point of her career. For a shorter way in, İşler Güçler and Aşk Yeniden are lighter ensemble comedies; but Nazike's story gains its meaning over the long run.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

Nazlı Tosunoğlu's work holds plenty for the whole family. Yabancı Damat is a comedy-drama about two families' prejudices over a marriage; Kardeş Payı is a sitcom about two plumber brothers; Düğün Dernek is a village-wedding comedy. Sağ Salim has a hero hauling a corpse, which may feel odd to small children; watch it with older ones.
