Success Story Emerges from Poor-Rating Trap Series
Turkish TV Series Proves High Demand Abroad Can Overcome Low Ratings
Despite initially receiving low ratings, the Turkish TV series Trap managed to stay on the screen for a whole season due to its high demand abroad. The performance of the series has been called tremendous as its original audience was made up of foreign viewers.
This proves that the high demand for Turkish TV series from abroad can even prevent low ratings in the rating system. A similar situation occurred this season with Night at the End, which starred Neslihan Atagül and Kadir Doğulu. The show was able to stay on air for one season because of its popularity abroad.
In addition to the overall success of the Trap series, there was also great interaction on social media. Akın Akınözü fans gave a strong support to the actor who managed to rank first in the most popular male actors’ list. Bensu Soral also performed above expectations as the female lead.
The Trap series received great attention in different geographies from Russia to America, and its overseas sales continued to be steady. With the influence of this project, Akın Akınözü became the face of a digital platform in Russia, which also bought Tuzak and many other Turkish TV series.
After finishing the Trap series, Akın Akınözü stated that it was a very good and enjoyable project for him. He added that he stands behind the job they did for 26 episodes.
Currently, the successful actor is resting and evaluating new projects that are coming up. He stated that nothing has been finalized yet, but he is getting excited about the possibilities.
The Trap series proves that Turkish TV series are not just popular in their home country but also abroad. High demand from foreign viewers can even save a show with low ratings from being taken off the air.
