Bride from Istanbul (İstanbullu Gelin) (translated)

İstanbullu Gelin (Bride of Istanbul) is a Turkish drama series produced by O3 Medya and broadcast on Star TV; it premiered on March 3, 2017 and concluded with its 87th episode on May 31, 2019 after three seasons. Directed by Zeynep Günay Tan and Deniz Koloş, it was adapted from Hayata Dön (Return to Life), a book by the psychiatrist and author Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu.

Özcan Deniz and Aslı Enver lead a large ensemble that also includes İpek Bilgin, Salih Bademci, Fırat Tanış, Dilara Aksüyek, Neslihan Yeldan, Tamer Levent and Meral Çetinkaya. The story follows Süreyya, a young woman from Istanbul who marries Faruk Boran and moves into his long-established, tradition-bound family, where her greatest struggle is holding her ground against the household's dynamics and, above all, her mother-in-law Esma.

The series also reached audiences abroad, airing on Pink in Serbia and on Zap Novelas in Angola and Mozambique, while reruns were shown on TLC in Turkey in 2019. The character Yaz, played by Ahsen Eroğlu, is based on the same story as Alya in Kırmızı Oda, another series drawn from Budayıcıoğlu's book.
