Uzak Sehir season 2 will premiere on September 15, following the huge success of its first season. The Turkish drama, also known as Far City, became one of the most-watched TV series in Turkey, breaking audience records on Kanal D.
Uzak Şehir (‘Far City’), the new Turkish series on Turkey’s private television channel Kanal D which premiered in November last year, wrapped up its first season on 2 June with the broadcast of its 28th episode after achieving huge success and record-breaking ratings.
Starring Turkish actress Sinem Ünsal – who plays the role of Alya Smith Albora – and Turkish actorOzak Akbaba (in the role of Cihan Albora), the series is produced by Ay Yapım and directed by Ahmet Katıksız, Emre Aybek and Yıldız Aşanboğa, with a script by Gülizar Irmak. Based on the 2017 Lebanese TV series Al-Hayba, the new soap opera aired its first episode on 11 November 2024, and after the filming of the last episode concluded, the entire cast attended a joint dinner to celebrate the end of the season and the good reception of the series by the audience.
Uzak Şehir‘s main filming locations are Istanbul and Mardin – the latter a beautiful ancient city in southeastern Turkey – and tells the drama of a woman (Alya) living in Canada who decides to return with her young son Deniz to her family’s land in Mardin, thus fulfilling her late husband’s last wish.
While facing the ghosts and tragic memories of her past, after settling in Mardin Ayla begins to feel the strong influence of the Albora family; it is then that the mysteries and darkest secrets of the family clan begin to emerge, forcing Alya to fight with all her might to get her and her son to move forward and find the longed-for peace they came to Turkey to find.
