The Turkish drama “Kirli Sepeti” has decided to end its run with the 40th episode. Details on why the show is concluding and more can be found in our article…
The Turkish drama “Kirli Sepeti” premiered on NOW TV on September 24, 2023, and successfully completed its first season. Last week, it returned for its second season with a new cast, but this week, the show announced it will come to an end after its final episode.
Starring Ayça Bingöl (Songül), Ceren Moray (Hayriye), and Cansu Tosun (Medine), the second season of “Kirli Sepeti” saw the addition of big names like Pelin Karahan (Meyra) and Emre Karayel (Yiğit).
Why is “Kirli Sepeti” ending?
Talks of ending the show had been circulating since the end of the first season. Initially, the show was supposed to conclude after season 1, but due to international sales, a second season was greenlit. However, the new season failed to meet the expected ratings, leading to the decision to end the show with the 40th episode.
With episode 38 having aired yesterday, “Kirli Sepeti” will bid farewell after just two more episodes.
The series faced stiff competition on Sundays from shows like “Teşkilat” and “Deha”, which likely contributed to the decision to end the show.
Plot and Cast of “Kirli Sepeti”:
Set in one of Istanbul’s wealthy neighborhoods, the show revolves around the intertwined lives of housekeepers and their employers in a small, boutique complex. It highlights the stark divide between the “upstairs” and “downstairs” worlds. The show follows the emotional, sometimes heart-wrenching and sometimes humorous, story of three women who support each other through love, secrets, and lies.
