7 Friday-Night Rivals Of Kızılcık Şerbeti That Ended In 5 Seasons
Kızılcık Şerbeti has been a fixture of Friday nights on Show TV since January 2023. Over five seasons, seven series that aired against it fell behind in the ratings race and wrapped up one by one. The list includes ambitious productions, from season champion Yalı Çapkını to Hande Erçel's Aşk ve Gözyaşı.
Even Yalı Çapkını, the previous Friday-night leader, said goodbye after 101 episodes.
Yalı Çapkını (Star TV)
When Kızılcık Şerbeti premiered, Star TV's Yalı Çapkını was the clear leader of Friday nights. It closed the 2022–2023 season as season champion with an average rating of 10.32.
In later seasons the race turned in Kızılcık Şerbeti's favor. After ratings fell short of expectations in its third season, Yalı Çapkını was given a finale and ended with its 101st episode on 4 April 2025.
Ateş Kuşları (ATV)
Ateş Kuşları premiered on ATV on 13 January 2023, almost at the same time as Kızılcık Şerbeti. It was ahead in the TOTAL ratings in its first weeks but dropped out of the race for the top in season two.
In the 2 February 2024 ratings, Kızılcık Şerbeti ranked first in the AB group while Ateş Kuşları came eighth. The series ended on 10 May 2024 after 2 seasons and 54 episodes.
Çağatay Ulusoy's Gaddar had to settle for a single season on Friday nights.
Gaddar (NOW)
Gaddar, starring Çağatay Ulusoy, made an ambitious entry into Friday nights in early 2024, trying to carve out space on a crowded evening alongside Kızılcık Şerbeti, Yalı Çapkını and Ateş Kuşları.
When the ratings did not reach the expected level, Gaddar did not get a second season and ended with its 20th episode on 7 June 2024.
Kara Ağaç Destanı (TRT 1)
TRT 1's Kara Ağaç Destanı went up against Yalı Çapkını and Kızılcık Şerbeti on Fridays. It started with low ratings and, although it climbed somewhat later on, never reached the expected level.
Partly because of filming in harsh winter conditions, the series was given a finale and ended with its 30th episode on 20 December 2024.
NOW's Kötü Kan lasted only 7 episodes against Kızılcık Şerbeti and Yalı Çapkını.
Kötü Kan (NOW)
NOW's next Friday move after Gaddar was Kötü Kan. The series, which brought together Ertan Saban and Damla Sönmez, premiered on 6 September 2024. Competing on the same night as Kızılcık Şerbeti, Yalı Çapkını and Arka Sokaklar, its viewing figures dropped quickly, and it became one of the season's first early finales after just 7 episodes.
Zembilli (ATV)
ATV brought Zembilli to Friday nights in January 2025. It struggled to hold viewers on an evening where Kızılcık Şerbeti and Yalı Çapkını were locked in a tight race, and ended early with its 13th episode in March 2025.
Aşk ve Gözyaşı (ATV)
The last name on the list is Aşk ve Gözyaşı, which brought together Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç. ATV's ambitious Friday series for the 2025–2026 season had been planned as 13 episodes. However, it failed to make even the top 20 in the ratings and, with changes in the writing team also playing a part, ended with its 7th episode. Kızılcık Şerbeti, meanwhile, keeps its place on Friday nights in its fifth season.
