The Trailer That Stopped Hearts Across Turkey
ATV’s highly anticipated new series Kuruluş Orhan has officially dropped its latest trailer — and the internet can’t stop talking about it. Translating to “takes the breath away,” the teaser lives up to its name by delivering jaw-dropping visuals, grand storytelling, and a cinematic atmosphere that instantly captured millions of viewers.
Within hours of its release, the trailer trended across social media platforms, earning massive engagement both in Turkey and abroad. Fans hailed it as one of the most exciting historical drama launches of the year — the perfect continuation of the Kuruluş Osman legacy.
The Legacy Continues: From Osman Bey to Orhan Bey
Following the monumental success of Kuruluş Osman, Kuruluş Orhan continues the story of the Ottoman dynasty through the eyes of Orhan Bey, the son of Osman Bey. The trailer introduces a strikingly different tone — darker, grander, and more emotionally layered.
At the heart of this transformation stands Mert Yazıcıoğlu, whose portrayal of Orhan Bey has already become a topic of global discussion. His new look, combined with intense battle sequences and emotional depth, left viewers stunned. Social media comments praise his “magnetic screen presence” and “commanding warrior aura.”
The Power Behind the Epic Production
Kuruluş Orhan is produced and written by Mehmet Bozdağ, the creative force behind some of Turkey’s most successful historical series, including Diriliş: Ertuğrul and Kuruluş Osman. The direction is handled by Bülent İşbilen, whose cinematic style brings a new level of intensity and realism to the screen.
Bozdağ once again blends historical inspiration with emotional storytelling, creating an immersive Ottoman world filled with loyalty, ambition, and power struggles.
Kuruluş Orhan is not just a continuation — it’s a rebirth of a legacy,” said one fan on X (Twitter), echoing the excitement across the fandom.
It’s Not About Bursa — It’s About Me”: The Line That Broke the Internet
One particular line from the trailer — “Mesele Bursa değil, mesele benmişim” (“It’s not about Bursa; it’s about me”) — has gone viral across platforms. Fans are interpreting this as a deep look into Orhan Bey’s internal transformation from a prince to a ruler.
The scene encapsulates the series’ emotional core: power, destiny, and personal sacrifice. Within hours, thousands of memes, edits, and quotes flooded platforms like X, TikTok, and Instagram.
Visuals, Battles, and the Making of a New Empire
The trailer’s cinematography has been widely praised for its movie-level production values — from the meticulously designed battle scenes to the emotionally charged indoor sequences within the Ottoman tribe (oba).
We see flashes of large-scale wars, strategic confrontations, and moments of introspection. The women of the tribe also play a significant role this season, as glimpses of their dialogue suggest emotional and political involvement in shaping Orhan’s destiny.
The level of detail and intensity looks like a film, not a TV series,” one fan commented
Global Impact and Viewer Reactions
Within the first day of release, the trailer was viewed millions of times, collecting thousands of reactions from across the world — from Pakistan and Indonesia to Europe and the Middle East.
On YouTube, comments praised its authenticity, music, and action choreography, while international viewers eagerly requested English subtitles.
The hashtags #KuruluşOrhan, #MertYazıcıoğlu, and #OrhanBey trended simultaneously, proving the show’s cross-border appeal.
