Mehmed Fetihler Sultanı is preparing for a major new chapter, and Rüzgâr Aksoy could be joining the TRT1 historical drama as one of the era’s most powerful rulers.
The upcoming season of Mehmed Fetihler Sultanı is expected to open with a time jump, setting the stage for new political conflicts and historical figures. Among the most notable additions is Uzun Hasan, the influential ruler of the Akkoyunlu state.
According to backstage information reported by Turkish entertainment journalist Birsen Altuntaş, actor Rüzgâr Aksoy is currently at the signing stage for the role.
Rüzgâr Aksoy in Talks for Uzun Hasan Role
Miray Yapım plans to begin filming the new season toward the end of the month. With the story moving forward in time, the introduction of Uzun Hasan could add another significant political dimension to the series.
Reports suggest Aksoy may portray the powerful Akkoyunlu ruler, whose historical role adds intrigue to the series centred on Sultan Mehmed II’s reign.
However, reports indicate that the actor is still in contract talks, so we should describe his casting as reported rather than officially confirmed.
Who Was Uzun Hasan?
Uzun Hasan was the most prominent ruler of the Akkoyunlu dynasty, which controlled large territories across parts of Anatolia, Iran, Iraq and surrounding regions during the 15th century.
His rise coincided with a period of intense political competition in the region. His interactions and rivalry with the Ottoman state make his appearance in Mehmed Fetihler Sultanı particularly relevant to the historical setting of the drama.
Bringing such a figure into the storyline could allow the series to expand beyond the Ottoman court and explore the wider power struggles that shaped the region during Mehmed II’s reign.
Aksoy Brings Historical Drama Experience
Rüzgâr Aksoy is no stranger to demanding historical roles.
Before the reported Mehmed Fetihler Sultanı casting, the actor appeared in Şule, a production available on tabii. He subsequently took on another historically significant role in TRT1’s Asırlık Gece, where he portrayed Ömer Halisdemir.
That background could make Aksoy a natural fit for a production requiring strong screen presence and a convincing portrayal of a major historical personality.
What to Expect From the New Season
The arrival of Uzun Hasan comes at an important point for Mehmed Fetihler Sultanı. A time jump can give a long-running historical drama an opportunity to refresh its storyline while introducing new political alliances, rivalries and characters.
For viewers, the possibility of Rüzgâr Aksoy joining the cast adds another reason to watch the upcoming season closely.
If the contract is completed, his portrayal of Uzun Hasan could become one of the season’s most important new performances.
For now, fans will have to wait for an official confirmation from TRT1, Miray Yapım or Rüzgâr Aksoy.
