Sources: 26. Developments: 12. Show TV’s original romantic‑comedy series Muhtemel Aşk, launched on 18 June 2026, has sustained its strong performance in the Turkish primetime market. After debuting with a 2.88 Total rating and quickly entering the top‑seven programmes, the Thursday‑night slot remained solid through episode 6 on 24 July, with the series repeatedly confirmed as the audience‑measurement leader despite a modest dip in mid‑July. By early August the programme was the only show to increase its audience share across Total, AB and ABC1 categories, reinforcing its dominance of Thursday evenings. Ratings for Thursday, 6 August showed Muhtemel Aşk capturing the top spot across all three rating panels, overtaking previous leaders such as Doğanın Kanunu and Var Mısın Yok Musun. MasterChef Türkiye held second place on TV8 and NOW Ana Haber ranked third in its news category. The following day, 7 August, major Turkish channels released their Friday prime‑time line‑ups, featuring a mix of travel‑reality, foreign films, classic comedies and local programmes, underscoring the competitive scheduling environment in which Muhtemel Aşk continues to lead. As the series progressed, the narrative shifted toward significant plot developments involving lead characters Defne and Kadir. Following the disappearance of a character named Hanım, the two were forced into closer interaction, leading to a re-evaluation of their relationship. The storyline has since taken a dramatic turn involving a mysterious message sent to Defne, placing her in danger. The upcoming 12th episode, scheduled for 3 September, is expected to focus on Defne’s kidnapping and Kadir’s efforts to find her. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-27: Muhtemel Aşk series features dramatic plot twists The Turkish drama ‘Muhtemel Aşk’ on Show TV enters a high-tension arc as character Defne faces a kidnapping plot following recent developments between her and Kadir. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/muhtemel-ak-series-features-dramatic-plot-twists ### 2026-08-07: Turkey TV ratings: Muhtemel Aşk leads Thursday, Friday prime‑time schedule announced Muhtemel Aşk tops Thursday's Turkish TV ratings; Friday's prime‑time schedule across major channels features dramas, comedies and classic films. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/turkey-tv-ratings-muhtemel-ak-leads-thursday-friday-primetime-schedule-announced ### 2026-08-04: Muhtemel Aşk TV drama sustains top ratings in Turkey Muhtemel Aşk on Show TV kept leading ratings in Turkey, starring Ayça Ayşin Turan, Ekin Koç and Feyyaz Şerifoğlu, while actress Müge Bayramoğlu discussed her role as Özlem Bartıner. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/muhtemel-ak-tv-drama-sustains-top-ratings-in-turkey ### 2026-07-25: Muhtemel Aşk Turkish Series Confirmed as Original Show with New Episode 6 Release Show TV's Muhtemel Aşk is an original Turkish romantic‑comedy series, not an adaptation, and its sixth episode aired on 24 July, advancing the Defne love‑triangle plot. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/muhtemel-ak-turkish-series-confirmed-as-original-show-with-new-episode-6-release ### 2026-07-17: Show TV's 'Muhtemel Aşk' Keeps Lead Despite Rating Drop on July 16, 2026 On 16 July 2026, Show TV's Muhtemel Aşk kept its #1 spot in Turkish TV ratings despite a drop of over one point, with ATV's Var Mısın Yok Musun second. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/show-tvs-muhtemel-ak-keeps-lead-despite-rating-drop-on-july-16-2026 ### 2026-07-11: Turkish TV networks unveil new drama series with star‑studded casts Kanal D's new drama “Haysiyet” and Bozdağ Film's period series “Aşk ve Taht” were announced, each with extensive casts and high production values for upcoming Turkish TV seasons. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/turkish-tv-networks-unveil-new-drama-series-with-starstudded-casts ### 2026-07-09: Show TV's 'Muhtemel Aşk' airs Episode 4, trailer for Episode 5 pending Show TV aired episode 4 of “Muhtemel Aşk” on 9 July 2026; no official trailer for episode 5 has been released yet. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/show-tvs-muhtemel-ak-airs-episode-4-trailer-for-episode-5-pending ### 2026-07-01: Muhtemel Aşk drama releases new episode trailer ahead of July broadcast Muhtemel Aşk released its episode 4 trailer on Show TV’s site and YouTube, and the series is scheduled to air on Show TV at 12:30 PM and 8:00 PM on 1 July 2026. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/muhtemel-ak-drama-releases-new-episode-trailer-ahead-of-july-broadcast ### 2026-06-30: Turkish TV launches new drama series 'Aşk ve Taht' and 'Muhtemel Aşk Turkish TV debuted two new dramas: period series 'Aşk ve Taht' starring Ceren Benderlioğlu and summer series 'Muhtemel Aşk' on Show TV, both attracting strong ratings and notable casts. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/turkish-tv-launches-new-drama-series-ak-ve-taht-and-muhtemel-ak ### 2026-06-25: Show TV's ‘Muhtemel Aşk’ airs new episode on June 25 Muhtemel Aşk returns on Show TV on 25 June 2026 at 20:00; original drama starring Ayça Ayşin Turan, Ekin Koç and Feyyaz Şerifoğlu, also streamed live online. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/show-tv-airs-second-episode-of-drama-muhtemel-ak ### 2026-06-21: Show TV sets 'Muhtemel Aşk' episode 2 for June 25, 2026 Show TV's Muhtemel Aşk will broadcast episode 2 on Thursday 25 June 2026 at 20:00, continuing its weekly Thursday slot after the 18 June debut. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/show-tv-sets-muhtemel-ak-episode-2-for-june-25-2026 ### 2026-06-18: Show TV launches 'Muhtemel Aşk' drama series Show TV’s new drama 'Muhtemel Aşk' starring Ayça Ayşin Turan, Ekin Koç and Feyyaz Şerifoğlu debuted with strong ratings and quickly trended on social media. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/show-tv-launches-muhtemel-ak-drama-series --- Cite as: Show TV ‘Muhtemel Aşk’ maintains ratings lead amid plot Twis.
