Release of ‘Aşk ve Taht’ historical drama series

Overview

The historical drama series ‘Aşk ve Taht’ (Love and Throne), produced by Bozdağ Film for the ATV network, is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, September 9, at 20:00. Set during the golden age of the Anatolian Seljuk Empire, the series follows the life of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad, tracing his path from eight years of imprisonment to the throne amidst themes of palace intrigue and romance.

Lead actor Akın Akınözü has undergone intensive physical training and a significant transformation, including growing his hair and beard to suit the historical period. His preparation included horseback riding, archery, close combat, and CrossFit, alongside working with historical consultants to ensure authentic social etiquette.

During a recent press conference, the cast and production team discussed the show’s central themes of power, betrayal, and romance. The narrative will focus on the intersection of the fates of Alaeddin and Princess Destina of Alanya—historically known as Mahperi Hunat Hatun—while also depicting power struggles among influential women within the dynasty, such as Ümmühan Sultan, Melike Hatun, and Nurcihan Hatun. The production aims to depict a pivotal era in Turkish history, set during the reigns of figures such as Mevlana and Yunus Emre.
