Emin Günenç and İlsu Demirci talk to Brut. about “Arafta.”

Brut. talked to the stars of “Arafta,” the Turkish drama that has built a rapidly growing international audience. Since its debut in late 2025, “Arafta” has expanded well beyond Turkey, with its first season licensed in 19 territories and its official YouTube channels drawing hundreds of millions of views. Its success comes as Turkish dramas, long popular across the Middle East, Latin America and South Asia, continue reaching new audiences around the world, including a growing following among American viewers. “Arafta” has leaned heavily into that international audience, releasing episodes online in multiple languages and making its second season available globally through eight YouTube channels. Brut. spoke with stars Emin Günenç and İlsu Demirci about the series, the growing international reach of Turkish television, and their plans for the future. #Arafta #TurkishDrama #TurkishSeries #EminGünenç @araftadizi @emingunenc @ilsudemircii @nuzhatnaoreen Watch more Brut America videos: ▶︎ TT:   / brutamerica   ▶︎ FB:   / brutamerica   ▶︎ IG:   / brutamerica   ▶︎ TW:   / brutamerica
