There are well-made Turkish dramas that speak for itself through numbers and high tv ratings. These historical and modern dramas are the perfect candidates when you are searching for a drama to chill out with during the summer, or for viewing anytime.

Usually, popular Turkish dramas are shown in 2 seasons with around 60-70 episodes. If Turkish dramas get high television ratings, they usually continue the second season. We can divide the yearly drama season into two: 1)ordinary drama season and 2) summer drama season. The ordinary Turkish drama season is from October to June while the summer drama season is from June to October. The high budget Turkish dramas usually start in October and makes a seasone finale in June.
