Production of Turkish series Hamal

Overview

Preparations have begun for the Turkish television series ‘Hamal’, produced by KYN Yapım and directed by Mustafa Şevki Doğan. The series stars Oktay Kaynarca as Hamal Kemal and Fahriye Evcen as Hayat, with filming scheduled to commence in September 2026.

Recent reports indicate that the production was originally developed under the title ‘Kafkas’. The series features a large ensemble cast, including Caner Cindoruk and Erdal Özyağcılar, though an official premiere date has not yet been announced. As part of the upcoming 2026-2027 Turkish television season, ‘Hamal’ is expected to air on the channel atv. Production teams are currently working to select filming locations within Istanbul and its surrounding areas to suit the story’s atmosphere.

Subsequent reports regarding the production indicate that Evcen is expected to receive a per-episode payment of 2.5 million Turkish Liras for her role. Media attention has also focused on the compensation of other high-profile actors, such as Burak Özçivit, who is reportedly earning 4.5 million TL per episode for his role in ‘Güneşin Doğduğu Yer’. As the new television season approaches, the couple will appear in different series, effectively becoming competitors on screen, with their combined weekly earnings estimated to reach 7 million TL.
