A powerful story of identity, power, and revenge set in Istanbul, is set to premiere April 6 in prime time on Show TV
OGM Universe, the global distribution arm of OGM Pictures, announced the international launch of its high-stakes drama series The Gentleman (local title: Delikanlı).
Produced by visionary creator Onur Güvenatam, the series premieres Monday, April 6, in prime time on Turkey’s Show TV.
The Gentleman (Delikanlı) is a compelling journey through Istanbul, where resilience collides with the ruthless mechanics of power. The story follows Yusuf, a man defined by his unwavering integrity and deep-rooted loyalty. Raised in a modest neighborhood, Yusuf dreams of a simple, honest life with his childhood love, Hazan.
However, an unexpected clash with the world of privilege forces him into a life-altering crossroads.
Years later, Yusuf returns—not as a victim of his past, but as a man who has learned to play by the very rules that once destroyed him. Armed with a new identity and a calculated resolve, he begins to dismantlethe lives of those who wronged him. Yet as he edges closer to his ultimate goal, he is confronted with a haunting question: in the pursuit of justice, how much of himself is he willing to lose?
International star Mert Ramazan Demir delivers a powerful performance as Yusuf, capturing his transformation from a neighborhood hero to a man operating in the shadows. He is joined by a stellar cast including Melis Sezen, Salih Bademci, and rising talent Mina Demirtaş.
The series is directed by acclaimed duo Zeynep Günay and Recai Karagöz, with a screenplay by Aybike Ertürk and her creative team.
“With The Gentleman (Delikanlı), we present a story that seamlessly blends a strong local essence with universal appeal,” commented Ekin Koyuncu, Global Distribution &
Partnership Director at OGM Universe. “Yusuf’s journey is a timeless exploration of identity and the cost of revenge.”
“At OGM Universe, we are committed to delivering stories that resonate across borders, and we believe the compelling narrative, striking visuals, and outstanding cast of The Gentleman will command the attention of audiences and buyers worldwide,” added the executive.
