A seemingly comfortable marriage can look very different once an unexpected person enters the picture. This idea forms the core of Until Death Do Us Part, the upcoming Turkish drama that TOD is preparing. The project has now added a major name to its cast, with Rabia Soytürk set to play Azra, the female lead.
ARC Film is producing the 10-episode series, with Serdar Gözelekli directing and Aslı Zengin and Banu Zeytin Tak writing the screenplay. Tolgahan Sayışman will portray Uygar, a construction engineer whose carefully ordered life begins to unravel after he meets singer Azra during a business trip. Birsen Altuntaş reports that the production team plans to film the series in Istanbul, with shooting scheduled to begin on October 10, 2026.
The project carries the Turkish title “Ölüm Bizi Ayırana Dek.” The series blends marriage drama, romance and emotional conflict, focusing on personal choices and relationships rather than following a conventional crime or workplace storyline.
A New Chapter for Rabia Soytürk
Rabia Soytürk’s casting places her at the center of a story where one character can fundamentally disrupt another person’s established world.
According to the latest report, Soytürk will play Azra, a singer who meets Uygar while he is away on a business trip. The story presents the encounter as a major turning point, showing that Azra may play a much bigger role than a typical romantic interest. Her arrival is what forces Uygar to confront the difference between the life he has built and the emotions he may have tried to ignore.
That setup gives the series an immediately recognizable emotional hook: what happens when an ordinary routine collides with an unexpected connection?
For Soytürk, the role also offers the opportunity to explore a character positioned at the center of a complicated relationship dynamic.
Tolgahan Sayışman Plays Uygar
At the other side of the story is Uygar, played by Tolgahan Sayışman.
Uygar works as a successful construction engineer and is married to Işıl, the daughter of powerful businessman İzzet Akay. He also has a child, and from the outside his family life appears stable and happy. However, his professional journey challenges that stability when it brings him face-to-face with Azra.
The character therefore begins the series from a position of apparent security rather than desperation. That distinction could become important to the drama because the central question is not simply whether Uygar will fall in love with someone else. It is whether one unexpected encounter can make him reconsider everything he believed about his own life.
Recent coverage has likewise described the project as a 10-episode TOD production centered on Uygar’s changing circumstances.
What Makes Until Death Do Us Part Interesting?
The strongest element of the premise is its focus on consequences.
Business trips are usually associated with professional responsibilities, meetings and temporary changes of scenery. In this story, however, that familiar situation becomes the trigger for a much bigger personal crisis.
The series appears positioned to examine marriage, loyalty, attraction and social expectations through Uygar’s increasingly complicated circumstances. Işıl’s family background also adds another layer to the story because Uygar is connected not only to his wife but also to the influence of her powerful father.
That creates room for the drama to move beyond a simple love triangle. The relationships surrounding Uygar could potentially involve family expectations, reputation, personal responsibility and the cost of making irreversible choices.
For viewers who follow new Turkish dramas in 2026, the combination of an established leading actor, a rising female lead and a 10-episode digital format makes the project one to watch as further casting and production information emerges.
Serdar Gözelekli Returns to a Familiar Creative Team
The series will be directed by Serdar Gözelekli, while Aslı Zengin and Banu Zeytin Tak are credited as writers. Gözelekli has previously worked with ARC Film and Fatih Enes Ömeroğlu on projects including Afili Aşk, giving the new production an established creative connection.
The involvement of ARC Film is another notable part of the project. Previous ARC Film productions demonstrate the company’s experience in developing Turkish scripted series for mainstream audiences.
When Will Until Death Do Us Part Premiere?
At this stage, viewers should separate the filming schedule from the eventual premiere date.
The latest report says the production team plans to begin filming in Istanbul on October 10, 2026. However, the report does not provide a confirmed premiere date.
TOD, a subscription-based streaming platform within the beIN Media Group ecosystem, will stream the series. TOD offers Turkish, Arabic and international entertainment alongside its sports programming.
Final Thoughts
Until Death Do Us Part has the ingredients of a relationship drama designed around one disruptive encounter. With Rabia Soytürk as Azra and Tolgahan Sayışman as Uygar, the series places two central characters at the heart of a story about attraction, marriage and consequences.
The October production start will be the next important milestone. Until the creators announce more casting, promotional material, and an official release date, the key question remains: How much can one unexpected meeting change a life that already seems complete?
