About The Tailor TV Series:

The Tailor (original title Terzi) is a Turkish television series starring Çağatay Ulusoy, Salih Bademci, Şifanur Gül and Olgun Şimşek. The series is produced by OGM pictures and directed by Cem Karcı. The series premiered on 2 May 2023 on Netflix.

The series was initially going to be titled Süslü Korkuluk (Fancy Scarecrow) and broadcast on TV8 but Netflix became its eventual distributor. The series is based on a culmination of a psychiatrist’s patient’s experiences. It follows Peyami Dokumacı, a young and famous tailor who inherited talent and a successful business from his grandfather. With the death of his grandfather, Peyami brings his father Mustafa who is his biggest secret and has a child-like intelligence to the core of his life in Istanbul and now has to take care of him without a soul finding out the truth. Running away from her abusive relationship with Dimitri, Esvet mysteriously appears in Peyami and Mustafa’s lives with her own secrets.

In the early 2021, it was reported that a new script was being written specifically for Çağatay Ulusoy. On his birthday in September, it was reported that the show was going to be titled Yalı Çapkını. After a few days, it was reported that Ulusoy did not like the script and therefore the project was shelved. Then journalist Ranini reported that Ulusoy liked a new script from the same company and then the contract was signed and show’s name became Süslü Korkuluk (“Fancy Scarecrow” in English). The name of series was later changed to Terzi (“The Tailor” in English). Rana Mamatlıoğlu and Bekir Baran Sıtkı are the scriptwriters of the show.

Filming began on 29 March 2022 in Kırklareli. The place was chosen to shoot the flashback scenes. The area is also the place where Ulusoy had earlier shot his short film Birdie and where he had a guest appearance as himself in the series Menajerimi Ara. The municipality of Kadıköy informed that the shooting of the series is taking place in the district in the Kadıköy Yoğurtçu Park in a special closed set.

During the filming of one of the action scenes in the car, the camera mounted on the top of it came off and Ulusoy survived the accident as it fell on the road. If the camera broke through the glass Ulusoy would have suffered serious injuries. He was one of the owners of the company which provided the camera for ₺500,000. However, later his girlfriend refuted the claims of the accident.

Filming of the three seasons of the series was taking place in one block. The filming of the first season concluded on 15 June and the second season began filming in the beginning of July. The filming of the second season concluded on 20 August and the crew started shooting for the third one immediately after which concluded on 4 October.

The show was initially supposed to be aired on TV8. However, a few days after the release of the teaser the information about the show disappeared from TV8’s website. It was announced by journalists that the budget of the show exceeded and the channel could not afford it. It was then announced that the series would air on Disney+ along with the opening of the platform in Turkey,[21] but then Netflix bought the broadcasting rights of the series.
