Kızılcık Şerbeti Screenwriter Shares the Series’ First-Ever Name Before It Hit Screens
Zeynep Gür, one of the scriptwriters for the series 'Kızılcık Şerbeti', revealed that the initial title of the show was completely different. Her confession that the production, which has captivated millions of viewers, was initially conceived as something entirely different, has set the social media abuzz.
Now, let's delve into the details together.
It shattered rating records and managed to become one of the most talked-about series on television.
One of the biggest phenomena in recent Turkish television history, Kızılcık Şerbeti, made its debut on Show TV on October 28, 2022. The production, signed by Gold Film, didn't merely narrate its story as a family drama, which started with the marriage of children from two families with different lifestyles. It managed to draw millions to the screen in a short time with its script focused on social polarization, generational conflicts, women's rights, family pressure, and different ways of life.
From its first season, the series became a staple of Friday nights, and it remained at the top of the rating lists, especially in the AB and ABC1 categories, for weeks. Each year it made its season finale, it became one of the most talked-about productions on social media, not only in Turkey but also reached a wide audience abroad.
However, rating success wasn't the only thing that kept the series in the limelight.
As the script progressed, some of the characters that the audience loved very much said goodbye to the story. Some left the series due to the script, while others bid farewell to the screens with surprise deaths. In particular, the farewell of Sibel Taşçıoğlu, who brought the character Pembe to life, was one of the most talked-about developments of the season. The departure of old characters while new characters were included in the story was discussed on social media for a long time each season.
Kızılcık Şerbeti also made headlines with developments behind the scenes, as much as the family conflicts on screen. Changes in the cast, backstage news, and discussions about the production team further increased the popularity of the series.
Currently, all eyes are turned to the 5th season of the series. The phenomenal production, which has entered the summer break, is planned to meet with the audience on Show TV screens in September.
Following the season finale, the series went on a summer break, but this time, it wasn't the plot that was the talk of the town, but the developments behind the scenes.
The departure of Doğukan Güngör, who brought the character Fatih to life, was at the forefront of these developments. The process related to the actor's departure occupied the entertainment news for a long time. Events unfolded rapidly with the outbreak of a banned substance operation targeting celebrities.
Faruk Turgut, the owner of Gold Film, stated in his announcement that they parted ways with Doğukan Güngör due to the process reflected to the public and channel policies. The producer's statements sparked a wide reaction on social media, and the actor's emotional farewell to the series also saddened his fans. It was announced that the character Fatih will be portrayed by Emre Dinler in the new season.
Following these developments, similar allegations began to be discussed about Feyza Civelek, who plays Nilay in the series. While numerous posts were made on social media suggesting that the actress would not be in the series in the new season, the producer Faruk Turgut and the scriptwriter of the series, Melis Civelek, clarified these allegations.
Faruk Turgut stated that it would not be correct to speak definitively before the new season starts, indicating that they have a long process ahead. He also drew attention by stating that Feyza Civelek's departure from the series could seriously affect the production.
On the other hand, Melis Civelek, after the discussions that became the agenda, emphasized her professional approach in her statement, saying, 'I am Feyza's mother, not Nilay's,' which was talked about for a long time.
While all this was happening, rumors emerged in the backstage that Ceren Karakoç, who portrays the character Nursema, might also leave the production due to the developments. However, there was no official confirmation from either the actress or the production company on this matter. All these developments before the new season ensured that Kızılcık Şerbeti remained on the agenda not only with its story but also with its behind-the-scenes developments.
The popular series, Kızılcık Şerbeti, which is on its summer break, has become the talk of social media, but this time for a completely different detail, amidst a flurry of questions about the new season.
One of the scriptwriters of the series, Zeynep Gür, was recently a guest on actor Murat Aygen's YouTube show 'Alaka'. If you recall, it was announced that Murat Aygen would be joining the cast of Kızılcık Şerbeti in the new season, bringing the character of Lider to life. The duo, who had previously worked together on the series Yasak Elma, had a very intimate and enjoyable conversation.
Throughout the show, they discussed the writing process of the series, the creation of the characters, and many unknowns about behind the scenes. However, the revelation that left millions astounded came from the name of the series.
Zeynep Gür revealed that the series, known to everyone today as Kızılcık Şerbeti, initially started out with a completely different name.
Scriptwriter Gür said that the first name they thought of was 'Akide Şekeri', but they decided over time that this name did not fully reflect the spirit of the story. She then remembered the long-used idiom 'We spat blood, drank cornelian cherry sherbet.' and explained how this led to the current name of the series.
Zeynep Gür used the following expressions on the show:
'Akide Şekeri didn't fit the series. Then the name Kızılcık Şerbeti came to my mind with the saying 'We spat blood, drank cornelian cherry sherbet'.'
This confession quickly became a hot topic on social media, with many users commenting, 'Good thing the name was changed.', 'Akide Şekeri wouldn't have created this impact.', 'The name Kızılcık Şerbeti has become synonymous with the series.' It seems like not only the story of the series that has etched into the memory of millions, but also the story of how its name came about will continue to be discussed for a long time.
