'KOSEM SULTANA'
1ST PHOTOS FROM EPIC SERIES
Now, here's something stunning to start of the first day of summer in proper style: exactly a year ago lavish Turkish epic series THE MAGNIFICENT CENTURY ended its worldwide rule and now the same production 
team is ready to launch an even more lavish one KOSEM SULTANA series this September! Today, you can feast your eyes on the very first photos depicting gorgeous Turkish star Hulya Avsar in the full costume as the 16th century Safiye Sultana the mother of Sultan Mehmed III. As you can see her gowns are done in English style since she maintained good relations with Elizabeth I with whom she had personal correspondence. If I got it right (my Turkish ain't so good) the white cat is also a gift from the English monarch. As I've reported earlier
Beren Saat will play the lead role of KOSEM SULTANA, Sultan Ahmed I
will be played by Erkan Kolcak Kostendil, while Yıldız 
Çağrı Atiksoy
will be Ayshe Sultana. The preparations took almost a year and a whole
Ottoman city was built for the series.

SULTA- NATE OF WOMEN
Similarly to Hurrem Sultana, who was the hero of MAGNIFI- CENT CENTURY, Safiye also rose from being a slave in the harem to becoming sultana after she was chosen by Hurem's daughter in law Nurbanu Sultana to be the wife of her son future sultan Murad. The main star of the series is of course KOSEM SULTANA, the wife of Safiye's grandson Ahmed I. She was a prominent figure during the Sultanate of Women (which
started with the
rule of Hurrem Sultana). She was official regent twice and was thereby
one of only two women to have been formal rulers of the Ottoman Empire.
She came to the sultan's palace in Istanbul as a 15 year old slave girl,
but quickly became influential in the harem which will be shown in the
new series.

DeleteI think it looks great, I hate to say it... cause then it gets cancelled quick. I am the grim-reaper of television... ;)
ReplyDeleteTurkish series don't get cancel :) They get sold in more than 50 countries around the world
DeleteI am not really a cat person, but I have always wanted a fluffy white cat like that! They are so purrrr-dy!
ReplyDeleteand they look like a purrfect cat for a villain! :) Just sitting and smirking ebilly :) I'm not sure if the cat was the gift from Elizabeth or if she named the cat Elizabeth after the English queen who was her penpal :)
DeleteInteresting trailer. Her ensemble reminded me of Lady Diana Spencer's, (former Princess of Wales) wedding dress and engagement ring.
ReplyDeleteit is an older teaser from last year back when they just announced the series, the trailer should come this summer, I hope :) And more lavish pics.... If you start watching MAGNIFICENT CENTURY at YouTube you will end up watching it all like that Asian series :)
DeleteWow they really are gorgeous!! Sometimes I kind of wish we still dressed like that. Well, just sometimes for fun. :)
ReplyDeleteyep, the previous show had costume and jewellery workshops set around the world in order to supply thousands of lavish costumes and crowns the harem wore... I'm sure this one will be even more lavish!
DeleteThose are some lavish dresses! The trailer doesn't show much. I see in your comment above, that another will come out this summer.
ReplyDeleteyep, that above is just a very early teaser which was made last year after MAGNIFICENT CENTURY ended just to sparkle our interest and hunger :)
DeleteI want that cat:)

DeleteI used to have a cat like hat. His name was Chipee.
ReplyDeletewhere did the name come from? I've never had a white cat....
DeleteSaw it on a T-shirt. He was the sweetest cat ever. I would woke up and he'd be lying right next to me, his head against mine, looking at me as if to say, 'I know you.'
Deleteand he loved you so much that he never gave you any fleas.....
DeleteWait! another one of my comments has disappeared!
