Cherry Season (Kiraz Mevsimi) (translated)

Youth, romance and romantic comedy blend in Kiraz Mevsimi (Cherry Season), a Turkish series. Produced by Süreç Film, it began on FOX on July 4, 2014, and aired 59 episodes over two seasons. In 2014 it topped Google's list of the most-searched series in Turkey, and it is remembered as the first Turkish series shown in Italy, on Canale 5.

Set in Istanbul, the story centers on Öykü, who dreams of becoming a stylist. She loves her childhood friend Mete (Dağhan Külegeç), but he falls for her close friend Şeyma (Nilperi Şahinkaya). Once Öykü gives up, she meets Mete's business partner, the flirtatious Ayaz. Özge Gürel and Serkan Çayoğlu lead the cast, and the playful closeness between their characters is tangled further by Şeyma's secret schemes. The second season opened on October 3, 2015, with its first episode filmed in Rome. When ratings failed to recover, the channel ended the show with episode 59.

Filiz Gülmez Pakman directed first, followed by Eda Teksöz; Aslı Zengin wrote the main scripts and Genco Arı composed the music. Two soundtrack albums were released, and Aydilge and Sinan Akçıl guest-starred.
