About Founder: Orhan

Founder: Orhan follows the early years of Orhan Bey as he steps out from his father's shadow in a turbulent frontier of empires. Set in the late 14th century, the story traces a young fighter who grows into a strategic leader, shaping a new chapter for a budding realm. He learns that strength alone does not build an empire and that alliances, cunning, and patience are as vital as steel. Across shifting loyalties and brutal battles, Orhan faces rival factions, ambitious generals, and the pull of dynastic duty. Bursa becomes a turning point, a prize and proving ground for a ruler in waiting. The saga preserves Osman I's legacy while pushing into fresh conflicts and personal dilemmas.

Directed by Bülent İşbilen and created by Atilla Engin and Mehmet Bozdağ, the series widens the Kuruluş universe with a new generation led by Mert Yazıcıoğlu as Orhan. It premiered in 2025 as a bold expansion.

Early chatter frames Founder: Orhan as a gripping continuation of the Osmanli saga, balancing battlefield spectacle with political scheming and the weight of legacy. The show probes leadership, legitimacy, and the costs of ambition as Orhan navigates rivalries, alliances, and the grind of statecraft.
