The highly anticipated Turkish drama Güneşin Doğduğu Yer has officially received a new premiere date. The series, starring Burak Özçivit, was originally scheduled to meet viewers on September 10, but production could not be completed in time for the planned launch. The new premiere date has now been set for Thursday, September 17, 2026, when the series will begin airing on ATV. Produced by Tims&B Productions, the new drama has already attracted considerable attention thanks to its impressive cast and Burak Özçivit’s return to a major television project. Fans are especially curious to see whether his new character will become another memorable role following his iconic performance as Osman Bey in Kuruluş Osman.
Güneşin Doğduğu Yer Premiere Date Confirmed
The biggest update surrounding the series is its delayed premiere.
Güneşin Doğduğu Yer was initially planned to premiere on September 10, but filming and production preparations in Adana required additional time. As a result, ATV has moved the launch by one week.
The series will now premiere on:
- Series: Güneşin Doğduğu Yer
- New Premiere Date: September 17, 2026
- Day: Thursday
- Channel: ATV
- Production Company: Tims&B Productions
- Filming Location: Adana
- Lead Actor: Burak Özçivit
This means viewers will have to wait just one additional week before seeing the highly anticipated production on screen.
Burak Özçivit Leads the New Cast
One of the biggest reasons for the excitement surrounding Güneşin Doğduğu Yer is undoubtedly Burak Özçivit.
The actor became internationally famous for portraying Osman Bey in Kuruluş Osman, one of the most successful Turkish historical dramas of recent years. His new project marks another major step in his television career and has generated strong curiosity among Turkish drama fans.
For viewers who remember Özçivit primarily as Osman Bey, Güneşin Doğduğu Yer will offer the opportunity to see him in a completely different setting and role.
His presence at the center of the production is expected to be one of the main attractions when the series finally premieres.
Sibel Taşçıoğlu and More Stars Join Burak Özçivit
Burak Özçivit will not be alone in carrying the new drama.
The official poster features several prominent names, including:
- Burak Özçivit
- Sibel Taşçıoğlu
- Görkem Sevindik
- Beyza Gümülcine
- Hilal Anay
- Devrim Yakut
The combination of established actors and younger performers has increased expectations for the series.
Sibel Taşçıoğlu, in particular, adds another recognizable name to the cast, while Görkem Sevindik and Devrim Yakut bring additional experience to the production.
Filmed in Adana
Another important detail about Güneşin Doğduğu Yer is its production location.
The series is being filmed in Adana, giving the production a distinctive regional atmosphere. The decision to shoot the drama there is also expected to contribute to the visual identity of the series.
However, the demanding production schedule appears to have affected the original premiere plans. Instead of rushing the series to meet the September 10 deadline, the production has been given another week before its television debut.
Why Fans Are Comparing Burak Özçivit to Osman Bey
Burak Özçivit’s association with Osman Bey remains extremely strong among Turkish drama audiences.
For years, he portrayed the founder of the Ottoman dynasty in Kuruluş Osman, becoming one of the most recognizable faces of Turkish historical television.
Because of that, many viewers are naturally wondering whether his new role in Güneşin Doğduğu Yer can create the same level of impact.
However, this is not Kuruluş Osman. The new series is expected to introduce audiences to a different character, a different story and a different dramatic world.
That makes Özçivit’s performance one of the most closely watched elements of the new ATV production.
Official Poster Reveals the Main Cast
The newly released poster has also given audiences their first major look at the ensemble cast.
Burak Özçivit takes a prominent position alongside Sibel Taşçıoğlu, Görkem Sevindik, Beyza Gümülcine, Hilal Anay and Devrim Yakut.
The poster has helped build anticipation ahead of the September premiere and confirms the central names involved in the project.
With the premiere date now moved to September 17, promotional activity surrounding the series is expected to intensify as the launch approaches.
Güneşin Doğduğu Yer Release Date
After missing its original September 10 schedule, Güneşin Doğduğu Yer will premiere on Thursday, September 17, 2026, on ATV.
The one-week delay should give the production additional time to complete its preparations and ensure that the series is ready for its television debut.
For Burak Özçivit fans, the wait is now almost over.
After his unforgettable run as Osman Bey, audiences will soon discover whether his new character in Güneşin Doğduğu Yer can become another major television role.
