Diriliş: Ertuğrul

TV Series · 2014–2019 · 90 people

Inspired by Ertuğrul Gazi, father of the Ottoman state's founder Osman Bey, the Turkish series Diriliş Ertuğrul (Resurrection: Ertuğrul) combines adventure, action and drama in a historical setting. Tekden Film produced it, Metin Günay directed it and Mehmet Bozdağ wrote most of it. It began on TRT 1 on December 10, 2014, and ended with its 150th episode on May 29, 2019, after five seasons. It later reached 71 countries in 25 languages.

The story is set in thirteenth-century Anatolia. Season one follows the Kayı tribe's fight against the Knights Templar in 1225 and its search for a homeland; season two turns to the Mongols. In season three the Kayı settle in western Anatolia and face the Byzantines, and the last two add Seljuk and Mongol affairs. Engin Altan Düzyatan plays Ertuğrul Bey, with Esra Bilgiç as Halime Hatun, Hülya Darcan as Hayme Ana, and Cengiz Coşkun as Turgut Alp. Kaan Taşaner and Didem Balçın also star.

Filming took place mostly in Riva, a village in Istanbul's Beykoz district, after six months of preparation. It was named best series of 2016 at the 43rd Pantene Golden Butterfly Awards, was well received in Pakistan and Azerbaijan, yet was banned in parts of the Arab world and criticized for a perceived political agenda. Kuruluş: Osman and Kuruluş: Orhan followed as continuations.

Through different eyes

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The series follows the Kayı tribe's search for a homeland in thirteenth-century Anatolia, drawn from the life of Ertuğrul Gazi, and it gathers the Knights Templar, the Mongols, the Byzantines and Seljuk affairs into one story. Migration, tribal solidarity, leadership and faith form its social backbone. But the distinction matters: this is a work inspired by history, not a documentary, and dramatic storytelling simplifies and enlarges a period. It was loved in Pakistan and Azerbaijan, banned in parts of the Arab world, and criticized for a perceived political message. It is a lovely doorway into the era, but the screen should not be read like a history book.

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

Five seasons, 150 episodes: Ertuğrul's journey is rebuilt around a new enemy every season. The line running from the Knights Templar to the Mongols and then the Byzantines keeps the story fresh. The chemistry between Engin Altan Düzyatan's Ertuğrul and Esra Bilgiç's Halime Hatun carries the show, and Hülya Darcan's Hayme Ana and Cengiz Coşkun's Turgut Alp stand out in the supporting cast. The weak spot: the new enemy, new plot formula can start to feel repetitive over the long haul. Still, keeping most of a show this long on its feet is no small feat.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Horses, swords, sieges: plenty of material for anyone who wants pace. The cast spent six months preparing, with riding lessons for the actors and sword lessons for the men too, and that should show in the horse and fight scenes. The Knights Templar and Mongol storylines of the first two seasons look the most tempting on that front. But 150 episodes is a long road, and the pace can sag in the dialogue-heavy stretches. If action is what you want, you can always pick the episodes where the clashes are thickest.
