Fans of Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı have been asking one major question recently: Is Season 4 actually happening? With Season 3 approaching its finale, viewers are eager to know whether the story of Mehmed II will continue. The answer appears to be yes. According to trusted Turkish television tracking reports, the historical drama is expected to return for another season—and considering how much history remains in Mehmed’s life, the continuation makes perfect sense.

Season 3 Is Approaching Its Finale

Season 3 of Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı is currently nearing its conclusion.

Reports suggest that the season will end with Episode 83, marking the final chapter of the current storyline.

At the moment, the series is focused on Mehmed’s brutal campaign in Wallachia against the infamous ruler Vlad the Impaler, often associated with the Dracula legend.

The conflict has become one of the darkest and most intense arcs in the series so far.

Season 4 Has Reportedly Been Confirmed

The strongest indication that Season 4 is happening comes from major Turkish drama tracking platforms such as Dizilah, which reportedly listed the series in the renewed category.

As one of the flagship productions of TRT 1, the series remains one of Turkey’s most important historical dramas.

Large-scale productions like this are rarely ended quietly, especially when there is still major historical material left to adapt.

Because of that, a fourth season appears highly likely.

Where the Story Currently Stands

In the current storyline, the series is set around the year 1462.

Sultan Mehmed has entered Wallachia and is fighting a brutal campaign against Vlad the Impaler.

One of the most famous historical moments connected to this conflict is the Night Attack at Târgoviște, where Vlad launched a surprise assault against the Ottoman camp in an attempt to assassinate Mehmed himself.

Historically, the attack failed.

Vlad was eventually forced to retreat, and this moment appears to be the major focus of the current episodes.

What Happened After Vlad’s Defeat?

Real history provides a clear direction for what Season 4 could explore next.

After Vlad fled Wallachia, Mehmed did not leave the region unstable. Instead, he installed Vlad’s younger brother:

Radu the Handsome

as the new ruler of Wallachia.

Unlike Vlad, Radu was closely aligned with the Ottomans and relied more on diplomacy than fear.

Under his leadership, Wallachia returned under Ottoman influence.

Vlad the Impaler’s Years in Prison

After escaping Wallachia, Vlad sought help from:

Matthias Corvinus

However, instead of receiving military support, Vlad was imprisoned.

Historically, he remained in captivity for roughly 12 years, from around 1462 to 1474.

This surprising chapter of Vlad’s life could become an important storyline if the series continues deeper into the historical timeline.

Vlad’s Final Return and Death

In 1476, Vlad made one final attempt to reclaim the Wallachian throne.

With support from Hungarian and Moldavian allies, he briefly returned to power.

However, his comeback lasted only a short time.

Later that same year, Vlad was killed while fighting Ottoman forces.

According to historical accounts, his severed head was sent to:

Constantinople

where it was reportedly displayed under Sultan Mehmed’s orders.

This marked the final chapter of one of history’s most famous rivalries.

There Is Still Much More Story Left

Even after the Wallachian campaign, Mehmed II’s story continued for many years.

Historically, he:

• Expanded Ottoman influence deeper into the Balkans
• Continued major military campaigns
• Strengthened the power of the Ottoman Empire
• Ruled until his death in 1481

Because of this, the series still has a large amount of historical material available for future seasons.

Why Season 4 Makes Sense

Several factors make a fourth season highly logical:

• The series remains one of TRT 1’s major productions
• Mehmed II’s historical story is far from complete
• The Wallachian campaign naturally leads into larger Ottoman expansion
• Audience interest in Ottoman historical dramas remains strong worldwide

For fans of historical storytelling, Season 4 would allow the series to explore some of the most important years of Mehmed’s reign.
