The Fall of the King

Kenan Baran cuts a striking figure in his circle of influence: charming, successful, and the kind of man who seems to have it all. Yet behind the flawless marriage lies a secret flirtation that threatens to topple his carefully built world. When his wife Handan grows wary of his mounting business trips, a stray bracelet found in his pocket becomes a tangible clue that something is off. Handan decides to dig, enlisting the support of her loyal friend Özlem, determined to uncover the truth no matter how messy it gets. As loyalties blur, the couple's seemingly perfect life starts to unravel. Its pulse leans on tension beneath polished surfaces, with lush visuals and music that heightens every confession.

Directed by Yağmur Taylan, Durul Taylan and Cem Toluay, The Fall of the King brings together a team of Turkish drama veterans, created by Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu Sedef Bayburtluğlu and Eylem Akın, based on their stories and willingness to push boundaries.
