Turkish drama series «Torn Apart» («Daha 17»), distributed internationally by Kanal D International, is attracting strong interest among Russian audiences on IVI, one of Russia’s leading streaming platforms.
Throughout this summer and autumn, the series has been airing on IVI as part of its «Together with the Whole of Türkiye» initiative, which allows Russian viewers to follow new episodes almost simultaneously with their television premieres in Türkiye. Audiences can watch episodes with live Russian translation or access professionally dubbed versions just hours after their original broadcast.
This release strategy significantly reduces the traditional delay between Turkish premieres and international distribution, allowing Russian viewers to follow the storyline and participate in online discussions alongside Turkish audiences.
Set in the coastal city of Bodrum, «Torn Apart» follows Aras, a 17-year-old who lost his family during childhood. Determined to find his missing brother, he arrives in Bodrum and becomes involved in a dangerous confrontation with the powerful Akkay family. His situation grows increasingly complicated when he falls in love with Leyla, the sister of his rival Teoman.
Combining family secrets, criminal intrigue and forbidden romance, the series explores the conflict between personal loyalty, love and the influence of a powerful family.
The series further strengthens the presence of Turkish drama catalogue on Russian streaming platforms.
