ATV’s highly anticipated new drama, A.B.I. (A Broken Inheritance), distributed by ATV Distribution, made a powerful premiere last night, January 13, 2026, ranking as the number one program across all rating categories and achieving the highest-rated series premiere in the last 7 years in Total Individuals.
The premiere delivered outstanding results across key audience segments, achieving 9.81 rating and 23.83 share in Total, 7.37 rating and 19.79 share in AB, and 9.98 rating and 23.75 share in 20+ABC, “confirming its broad and high-value audience appeal”, said the distributor.
Starring two of Turkey’s most celebrated actors, Kenan Imirzalıoğlu and Afra Saracoglu, A.B.I. captivated audiences from its very first episode with its gripping narrative, cinematic production quality, and emotionally charged performances. With its powerful storytelling, complex characters, and strong emotional depth, A.B.I. has already established a deep connection with viewers.
Produced by OGM Pictures, A.B.I. follows Dogan, a successful surgeon living in Izmir who severed ties with his powerful family years ago after a traumatic incident involving his father, Tahir Hancıoglu. Leaving Istanbul behind meant leaving both his family and his childhood, allowing him to build a life devoted solely to saving lives. His only remaining connection to his past is his younger sister, Melek.
After years of absence, Dogan returns to Istanbul at Melek’s request to attend his sister Gulusan’s wedding, a visit that reopens old wounds and exposes long-hidden family secrets. During this time, he meets Cagla, a determined young lawyer shaped by her sister Mahinur’s unresolved trauma. As their paths cross, a deep bond forms between them.
An attempted murder on the wedding night becomes a turning point, drawing Dogan into a dangerous web of secrets, betrayal, and suspicion—where even members of his own family emerge as suspects. Now, Dogan must decide whether to leave once again or stay and confront the dark truth at the heart of his family.
“Kenan Imirzalıoglu and Afra Saracoglu are both internationally celebrated actors, with Afra’s global recognition further boosted by her lead role in Golden Boy,” shared Müge Akar, Head of Sales at ATV Distribution. “Their pairing, combined with a gripping, high-quality script and strong production values, makes A.B.I. one of the most anticipated titles in our slate. The entire creative team is extremely excited about the project, and we firmly believe it will capture international attention from its very first episode.”
