Season chronology

Production

The season was written and produced by Mehmet Bozdağ and directed by Metin Günay. It was filmed in a plateau set in Riva, Beykoz.[1]

Casting

Mehmet Bozdağ has said there will be a surprise about this character in Kuruluş: Osman while Engin Altan Düzyatan, who plays Ertuğrul in Diriliş: Ertuğrul, has also said that he may give a surprise in the series but "no clear decision can be made".[2] It is very likely that he may later appear in some dreams (like Süleyman Şah) or appear in a flashback. Ertuğrul was at first thought to appear in season 1, then when he didn't appear, he was still thought to be played by Engin Altan but appear in season 2. Some other rumours indicated that Ediz Hun will play his role.[3][4] The character's appearance was confirmed at this point. Then when the first trailer was released, it was confirmed that Tamer Yiğit would be playing the role of Ertuğrul.[5]

Music

The theme music is by Zeynep Alasya. Alpay Göktekin, who composed the theme music for the previous season, died on 5 May 2020,[6][7] so therefore, could only compose the music for season one of the series.

Reception

Mehmet Bozdağ claims that the show has also been a great success in Albania, he said that the show is the "most watched TV show" in the country. In Albania, the show is called "Osmani".[8][9] Pakistani media also commented on the season's success, Bol headlined their article as 'First Episode Breaks All Records'.[10]

In 2020, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry, met Burak Özçivit when he visited the Kuruluş: Osman set with his family.[11][12] It is unknown when he met the Turkish actor but it's likely that it was after Osman became the Kayı Bey due to Burak's outfit.[12]

The conversation between Bamsı Bey and Cerkutay revolving around Prophet Muhammad in the 42nd episode of the series was also the centre of the conversation on social media at the time, it was declared "heart-touching" by fans.[13]
