“The Turkish Detective” on Paramount+ is a brand-new detective series inspired by the same-titled CWA Silver Dagger Award novels by Barbara Nadel. The first season of the show started filming in April 2022, and will now land on the Paramount streaming platform in December 2023.
This show will have an eight-episode first season and will be based on Nadel’s 24 novels, which follow Detective Ayse Farsakoglu, Inspector Cetin Ikmen, and partner Mehmet Suleyman as they investigate crimes in the “dazzling, vibrant, and chaotic world” present-day Turkey.
Our protagonists go through a range of emotions, from the greatest heights to the lowest lows, with the crimes in question having a profound connection to the ” wealthy and varied cultural heritage of Istanbul.”
Produced by Miramax and renowned Turkish production house Ay Yapim in collaboration with VIS, the series is set in contemporary Istanbul and stars Ethan Kai, Haluk Biligner (Baba), and Yasemin Kay Allen.
About The Turkish Detective Show
Before diving into The Turkish Detective Episode 1, let’s quickly talk about the show. Yasemin Kay Allen and Ethan Kai will play Detective Farsakoglu and Suleyman, respectively, and Haluk Bilginer will play Inspector Ikmen.
According to Nicole Clemens, head of Paramount+ Original Scripted Series, “The Turkish Detective is a universally compelling crime thriller presented against the setting of one of the most amazing, culturally diverse cities in the world. And they are excited to bring Barbara Nadel’s amazing books to life for the expanding global Paramount+ audience in this series.
Since Paramount purchased a 49% share in Miramax in April 2020, this project—which was first revealed in June 2020—will mark the beginning of a new collaboration between the two firms.
In addition to serving as executive producer, Ben Schiffer will write the next adaptation, which will be directed by Nicholas Arden Oplev (Mr. Robot, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). A lot more happened in previous episodes, but now let’s discuss when Episode 1 of The Turkish Detective will be released and what will happen in it.

If you enjoy watching CBS shows and you root for an AFC NFL club, Paramount Plus is among the best streaming options out now. Plus, it’s among the cheapest; an ad-supported package starts at $6 per month, but an ad-free subscription costs $12 per month and gives you access to Showtime.
The service offers an expanding slate of original TV episodes and movies, such as multiple “Star Trek” series, “1923,” which is a prequel to “Yellowstone,” and the brand-new “iCarly.” There are also popular sports available, such as football games from the SEC and NFL.
