Kurulus Orhan Season 1 Urdu & English Subtitles

Series Overview

Kuruluş: Orhan (literal meaning: “Establishment: Orhan”) is a new Turkish historical fiction drama, a direct sequel to the popular Kuruluş: Osman series. It focuses on the life and rule of Orhan Bey, son of Osman Bey, who becomes the second ruler after his father. 

The series is produced by Mehmet Bozdağ (also behind Kuruluş Osman) and Fozan Khan. It is directed by Bülent İşbilen, and many familiar faces from the prior series will return, along with fresh casting for new characters. 

Release & Launch Dates

• The first reading rehearsal was announced on 18 September 2025.

• Production started around 23 September 2025.

• First trailer dropped 5 October 2025, and later one on 14 October 2025.

• The series premiere was scheduled for Wednesday, 29 October 2025 at 8:00 PM (Turkey time). 

The show was already sold to 35 countries before its premiere, showing strong international faith in its appeal. 

Cast & Characters

Several main and returning cast members are involved in Kuruluş Orhan, blending continuity and new directions:

• Mert Yazıcıoğlu plays Orhan Bey, the central figure. 

• Cihan Ünal appears as Osman Bey (the former hero) in a guiding or legacy role. 

• Bennu Yıldırımlar plays Malhun Hatun, mother of Orhan and a powerful figure. 

• Ömer Faruk Aran, Barış Falay, Şükrü Özyıldız, Belgin Şimşek, Yiğit Uçan, and others comprise the supporting ensemble. 

• Notably, Bala Hatun, a central character in Kuruluş Osman, seems to be excluded in this new series. 

The combination balances continuity (for Osman fans) and fresh faces to define Orhan’s own era.

Plot & Direction: What to Expect in Season 1

Continuity from Kuruluş Osman

Kuruluş Orhan picks up after the conclusion of Kuruluş Osman (which ended its 6th season). The groundwork of Osman's conquests, alliances, enemies, and internal struggles will influence Orhan's challenges.

Orhan steps up to continue his father’s mission: unifying tribes, defending lands, confronting Byzantine threats, and managing palace politics.

Major Themes & Conflicts

• State Building: Orhan must transition from son of a conqueror into the statesman ruler.

• Foreign Threats: Byzantium, rival beyliks, and external conspiracies will test the new regime.

• Religious & Symbolic Power: As in the prior series, religious legitimacy, sacred relics, and spiritual authority may play a strong role.

• Internal Betrayal: Court rivalries, secret alliances, and traitors within will challenge Orhan’s trust.

• Legacy vs Identity: Orhan must balance his father’s legacy with his own vision for the future.

Future Prospects

If the show continues like its predecessor, the series could explore:

• Major conquests (Anatolian expansion)

• Diplomacy with neighbors and houses

• Rise of Ottoman institutions, law, and culture

• Character arcs: Orhan’s children, alliances, betrayals

Given the international interest and investment, Kuruluş Orhan is likely designed for multiple seasons, with a long arc that parallels historical Ottoman development.
