Kanal D’s drama series “Azize” is available in Russia on IVI and Okko, where it is positioned for viewers drawn to high-stakes, emotion-driven Turkish storytelling built around family loyalty, revenge, and forbidden love.
The series follows a heroine forced to reinvent herself. Once known as Melek, she becomes Azize as she rebuilds her life in the aftermath of tragedy, determined to protect her brother after their family is destroyed by the powerful Alpan mafia. When the conflict reaches her brother as well, Azize’s personal mission hardens into a vow of revenge.
At the center of the story is the show’s defining contradiction: love arrives from the worst possible place. Azize finds herself falling for Kartal—an Alpan, and therefore part of the world she is fighting. The relationship pushes the drama into its core tension, as Azize is pulled between vengeance and passion, and between the life she is trying to build and the past she cannot leave behind.
“Azize” plays to the genre’s strengths with clear emotional stakes and escalating conflict, pairing an action-driven revenge arc with a romance that complicates every decision. For Russian platforms expanding Turkish drama lines, the series offers a familiar mix that has proven durable with local audiences: a resilient central character, a powerful family antagonist, and a relationship that tests the limits of loyalty and justice.
Kanal D International will exhibit at World Content Market – Moscow in April and will bring new titles to Russian buyers with a strong appetite for Turkish content.
