A New Turkish Series Full of Lesser-Known Actors is Coming: “ŞAKİR PAŞA AİLESİ: Mucizeler ve Skandallar”

Today, filming has begun for a new Turkish series titled “ŞAKİR PAŞA AİLESİ: Mucizeler ve Skandallar”, which will air on NOW TV.

The cast includes Vahide Perçin, Fırat Tanış, Devrim Yakut, Cem Yiğit Üzümoğlu, Denise Capezza, Nilsu Berfin Aktaş, Helin Kandemir, Yağmur Başkurt. According to the channel’s announcement, Meryem Uzerli will also join the cast at a later stage.

I hope Nilsu Berfin Aktaş is not the lead, as the shows she has been a part of often don’t last long and tend to end early.

If I were to share my personal opinion, I don’t have high hopes for this show. I’ve already added it to my list of shows that will probably have an early finale. Of course, it’s too early to judge, and it’s not fair to have preconceptions, but that’s how I feel. I hope it lasts longer…
