Mert Yazıcıoğlu’s highly anticipated new series Aras has been delayed until spring due to changes in the production schedule and seasonal conditions. The project, which was originally planned to begin filming in the autumn, is now expected to start production in spring 2027. The series has already attracted significant attention, particularly because it marks another collaboration between Yazıcıoğlu and director Ömür Atay, with whom he previously worked on the successful Turkish drama Kızıl Goncalar.
Mert Yazıcıoğlu Joins Aras After Kuruluş Orhan
Following his role in Kuruluş Orhan, Mert Yazıcıoğlu accepted the lead role in Netflix’s upcoming series, currently known by its code name Aras. The project is being produced by TMC Film for Netflix.
Yazıcıoğlu’s involvement generated excitement among viewers, especially after it was revealed that director Ömür Atay would also be part of the project. The two previously worked together on Kızıl Goncalar, making their reunion one of the most anticipated aspects of the new production.
Filming Planned in Doğubayazıt
The story of Aras will center on Aras, an emergency-room doctor who discovers an intriguing and unexpected truth about his own life.
The production team had been preparing to film the series in Doğubayazıt, a district in Ağrı known for its striking landscapes and proximity to Mount Ararat. The location is expected to give the series a distinctive visual atmosphere.
However, filming will no longer take place in the originally planned autumn period.
Why Was Aras Delayed?
According to the latest reports, the production schedule has taken longer than expected. In addition, the seasonal conditions in Doğubayazıt created another challenge for the planned shooting schedule.
Because of these factors, the production has been postponed from autumn to spring. This means fans will have to wait longer before cameras officially begin rolling on the highly anticipated Netflix project.
The delay appears to be related to production and weather considerations rather than the cancellation of the series.
When Will Aras Begin Filming?
At present, Aras is expected to begin filming in spring 2027. Further details about the exact shooting date, cast and release schedule are expected to become clearer as production preparations continue.
For Mert Yazıcıoğlu, the project represents an important new step following his work in Kuruluş Orhan. With Ömür Atay returning as director and an intriguing story centered on an emergency doctor discovering a hidden truth about his life, expectations surrounding Aras remain high.
Fans will now have to wait until spring to see Mert Yazıcıoğlu begin this new chapter on Netflix.
