Can Yaman ‘El Turco' sets global premiere dates
ALBAWABA - Can Yaman El Turco sets global release dates and premieres soon.
Madd Entertainment, located in Istanbul, published the international trailer for the highly anticipated English-language drama 'El Turco,' starring Turkish megastar Can Yaman. This six-episode series weaves history, action-adventure, and romance around a famous Ottoman person who represents Turkey and the West.
'El Turco' will premiere on Voyo in Romania, IVI in Russia, and Globoplay in Brazil on March 21, 2025. Mediaset Infinity will play a ten-minute preview today in Italy, while Canale 5 will air the whole series on March 27. The show will premiere in Honduras on Teleonce on March 23 and in Turkey on Gaín on April 2. Starz is set to arrive in MENA on April 18.
Yaman plays 17th-century Ottoman soldier Hasan Balaban in 'El Turco,' an intriguing and astonishing story. Balaban arrived in Moena, 200 kilometers from the battlefront, after being severely injured during the Turkish army's 1683 effort to seize Vienna. The locals called him 'El Turco' for leading a rebellion against draconian tax regulations, making him a local hero.
In a panel at the Mipcom TV market last October, Can Yaman said, 'Now, Moena is a ski resort, but many people there still feel Turkish.' He loves the character and tale. Turkish week brings out Turkish flags and a statue of a hero. "When you see that, you are so impressed," he said of the strange history. The event occurred in Italy, where I lived, and involved an Ottoman Empire hero. The script intrigued me when I first read it.'

Ay Yapim, a famous Turkish production studio, produced this complex project. The film showcases global talent with a diverse ensemble from nine countries, including Will Kemp, Greta Ferro, David Nykl, Kieran O'Reilly, Veronica Ferres, and Maddalena Aragão, who play key roles alongside Yaman. The series was written by experienced writers Kerem Deren and Çişil Hazal Tenim and directed by Uluç Bayraktar, known for his storytelling excellence in 'Ten Days of a Bad Man.' Production designer Domenico Sica, known for 'Wonder Woman,' and costume designer Carlo Poggioli, known for 'The New Pope,' boost 'El Turco''s visual appeal.
With such a talented crew behind "El Turco," we expect the series to entertain and explore the dual heritage of historical narratives. The series intends to bring to light Turkey and Italy's unique ties via conflict, heroism, and community as it launches throughout areas.
The earliest playdates show an organized method to reach worldwide audiences, building anticipation for each release. We are still finalizing the entire international airing of this historical drama, but audiences are excited to witness the unfolding of distinct stories and various views.
In its unique storyline about the connected destiny of numerous nations against the backdrop of history, 'El Turco' will examine identity and cultural bridges. The Legacy of Hasan Balaban, who went from soldier to popular local character, is the focus of a fascinating documentary that entertains and makes viewers think about historical legacies.

'Israeli' facility lets children play ‘terrorist hunters' in simulated Palestinian village
A controversial "Israeli" facility, dubbed Fauda Base, is facing backlash after reports emerged that it allows children as young as six to engage in simulated undercover military operations, including dressing up as "terrorists" and conducting mock raids on a fabricated Palestinian village. The center, located in central "Israel", takes its name from the hit Netflix series Fauda, which dramatizes the actions of an elite "Israeli" undercover unit known as mista'arvim. These units operate disguised as Palestinians, often carrying out lethal operations in the occupied West Bank. The facility is operated by veterans from such units in collaboration with the "Israeli" entertainment company YES, the producer of the series. While the Fauda Base website claims its activities are designed for teens aged 15 and up (12 in its English version), an undercover report by HaMakom revealed that children as young as six have been permitted to participate in shooting simulations. However, the facility later denied this, stating that the minimum age for participants is 16. The experience, marketed as a chance to "go undercover," offers visitors a hands-on glimpse into life as a covert operative. According to its promotional materials, participants engage in 'a special operation and saving human lives,' while wearing gear associated with undercover forces—including mock firearms, military fatigues, and costumes resembling traditional Palestinian attire. 'What will you do when you hear them scream? Have you always dreamed of going undercover? Now's your chance to know what it's like to battle undercover,' the homepage reads. Screencap from the Fauda Base website Activities unfold in a fictional setting called 'El Mahmoudiya,' featuring a market, restaurants, and buildings designed to simulate a Palestinian village. A separate "Bedouin village" experience is also offered, advertised as an "authentic" cultural retreat following the mission. Visitors are assigned roles that include mista'arvim agents, 'terrorists,' and civilians. According to HaMakom's investigation, some participants darken their teeth and wear keffiyehs or fake beards to mimic Palestinians. The experience includes elements such as Krav Maga, urban combat training, and target shooting—though the facility insists all weapons are airsoft and no human targets are involved. Despite criticism, Fauda Base operators claim the experience is apolitical and not meant to educate. 'The activity at the Fauda Base is an experiential activity, not an educational one, full of love for the Arabic language and culture which is part of every good mista'arv person,' they said in a statement. Critics argue the facility reinforces dangerous stereotypes and militarizes children in a deeply polarized context. The "Israeli" mista'arvim units have long been controversial; their operations have included assassinations in the middle of Palestinian cities and even deadly raids in hospitals, as occurred in Jenin last year.
