The Turkish drama «Güneşin Kızları», known internationally as «Sunshine Girls», has been added to the schedule of Romantic TV Channel in Russia from 6 January, airing on weekdays. Romantic TV Channel is part of Tricolor, the country’s largest pay-TV operator, which carries more than 200 channels.
Distributed internationally by Kanal D International, the series blends romance, family tension and coming-of-age storylines against a backdrop that moves from Türkiye’s Aegean coast to Istanbul. At the center is Güneş, a literature teacher and single mother raising three daughters, whose decision to remarry triggers a relocation and a new domestic reality shaped by unfamiliar rules, strained relationships and unresolved secrets.
The drama’s structure runs on two tracks: the adult story of a marriage tested by mistrust and competing loyalties, and the teenage story of three sisters navigating identity, friendship and first love in a new environment. As the family tries to settle into Istanbul, conflicts inside the household spill into the daughters’ outside lives, and the narrative builds through revelations and reversals that keep personal relationships in constant motion.
With a weekday run beginning in early January, «Sunshine Girls» enters Russian programming as a long-form serial, following a family’s attempt to rebuild stability while the past continues to intrude.
