The Turkish television series Haysiyet, produced by Süreç Film and directed by Eda Teksöz, has moved from its initial promotional phase to its official broadcast. Following the release of a first trailer that highlighted the conflict between two families and featured the line, ‘We have a fortune too, and that is our dignity,’ the network Kanal D premiered the series on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Set against the historical backdrop of the Balat district in Istanbul, the narrative centers on the Karlıova family and the romantic relationship between characters Mehmet (Doğukan Güngör) and Simay (Merih Öztürk) amidst ongoing power struggles, family secrets, and past reckonings. The story explores themes of social class, family honor, and the conflict between personal desires and parental expectations. The production features an ensemble cast including Kerem Alışık, Reha Özcan, Nergis Öztürk, Burak Çelik, Gökberk Yıldırım, and Ayça Varlıer. As an original script rather than an adaptation, the series has drawn early viewer attention on social media, with reactions focusing on the dramatic tension established in the first episode and the performances of the lead cast. Prior to the premiere, the cast noted that characters inhabit ‘grey areas’ rather than being strictly good or evil, with Nergis Öztürk describing the series as having a ‘Yeşilçam-style’ feel centered on honesty and integrity. Following the premiere, viewers have noted the intersection of the working-class Karlıova family and the wealthy Tarman family. Kerem Alışık’s portrayal of Sadık Karlıova has been compared to classic Turkish cinema archetypes, and the production has been highlighted for its musical score by Kıraç.
