SCENE 01 / DRAMA SERIES
Drama Series Production
Professional scripted drama production for period and contemporary series throughout Turkey.
Here is how this works in practice. Drama series production creates scripted episodic content with ongoing narratives, complex character development, and high production values sustained across many episodes or seasons. These shoots need steady creative leadership, efficient multi-episode scheduling, and departments set to keeping quality across extended production periods.
Here is the short of it. We give full production support for drama series, setting up crew, gear, and location logistics across your episode schedule. Our team manages the sustained operational demands of episodic production, making sure steady quality and efficient resource allocation from the first day of shooting through series wrap.

On Location
Turkey's globe-conquering 'dizi' industry — the world's second-largest exporter of television series after the United States — gives drama-series productions one of the deepest, fastest crew bases anywhere.
Here is the breakdown. We give full production support for drama series across Turkey, setting up crew, gear and location logistics across full episode schedules. Our team manages the sustained operational demands of episodic production — multi-block scheduling, department scene matching and steady quality from the first shooting day through series wrap. We support period and today's drama, set up costume houses and prop suppliers for in the past accurate shoots, and give casting connections, VFX planning and post-prod running. Global co-productions receive treaty-compliance guidance and Turkish partner planning. Qualifying spend can access the cash rebates of up to 30% administered by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism through its General Directorate of Cinema. The cost advantage of the Turkish lira (TRY) makes the country one of the most competitive bases anywhere for sustained scripted production.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Turkish television drama — known as 'dizi' — is one of the world's great cultural exports. Turkey is the second-largest exporter of television series after the United States, with dizis watched across the Middle East, the Balkans, Latin America, Central Asia and South Asia. Signature shoots such as 'Magnificent Century' (Muhteşem Yüzyıl) and 'Resurrection: Ertuğrul' have reached vast global audiences. The commercial channels Kanal D, ATV, Show TV and Star TV alongside the public TV networks TRT sustain huge ongoing demand.
Here is how the picture comes together. Streaming sites BluTV, Exxen and Gain operate locally, and Netflix's Turkish-originals slate has 'The Protector', 'The Gift' and 'Ethos'. This dizi industry underpins one of the deepest and fastest production crew bases in the region, with skilled directors, departments and historic locations. Ottoman-era settings, Istanbul streetscapes and Anatolian landscapes — readily ready to global series.
