At the conference the entire cast was questioned by the journalists present. As well as Turgut, who answered questions about the narrative potential of the series, for which he responded: ‘It is a drama that, although it takes place in Turkey, can be perfectly understood globally and reach new markets that have nothing to do with the series’.

On the other hand, Civelek was asked about the challenges of making a series that deals with local religious issues. ‘I think that regardless of what you believe, it is a series with universal values of beliefs, but above all, accepting that we can coexist between different ways of thinking’, she added.

The series gained great impact in Türkiye, where it was a success on FOX TV Türkiye. And it continues to expand this success, since it was acquired by Mediaset España last year and this year it reached its first agreement in Latin America with TVN Chile.
