Netflix has announced it will launch its first original Turkish series in 2018.

The 10-episode programme, yet to be titled, will merge Ottoman and Turkish history as a young man learns that he has special powers and teams up with a ragtag crew to defend Istanbul against dark forces.

“We believe that Netflix will be the perfect global platform for this great Turkish production and we can’t wait to share more details later this year,” said Erik Barmack, vice president of International Original Series at Netflix.

The series is produced for Netflix by the Istanbul-based production company O3 Medya, with Onur Guvenatam as executive producer. Other Turkish content available on Netflix includes licensed dramas such as Magnificent Century, Ezel and Lovebird.
