Only Two Series Had Done It This Season: Uzak Şehir Finally Reaches a Double-Digit Rating
Uzak Şehir, Kanal D's ambitious Monday night drama, finally crossed the threshold it had been approaching for weeks with its new episode on November 9. Starring Sinem Ünsal and Ozan Akbaba, the series took first place in all three ratings lists and pushed its rise since the season premiere one step further. Among the dozens of series that have aired since September, only a handful have managed to reach this figure.
Uzak Şehir opened its third season with a 7.65 Total rating and climbed steadily week after week.
Uzak Şehir brings Sinem Ünsal and Ozan Akbaba together as Alya and Cihan in a story set in Mardin, and it has been Kanal D's strongest Monday night card since autumn 2024. The series began its third season with episode 64 on September 14, debuting at the top of all three lists with 7.65 in Total, 6.00 in AB and 6.93 in ABC1.
In mid-October it trailed ATV's Altı Üstü İstanbul by just 0.02 points in Total. On October 26, the night of the Galatasaray–Fenerbahçe derby, it still rose to 8.51 and reclaimed first place, then reached 9.31 on November 2.
With episode 72, Uzak Şehir scored 10.10 in Total, its highest rating of the third season.
On Monday, November 9, Uzak Şehir's 72nd episode — the ninth of season three — drew 10.10 in Total, 7.50 in AB and 9.25 in ABC1, ranking first on all three lists. Compared with the previous week, it gained 0.79 points in Total, 0.78 in AB and 0.90 in ABC1, while its Total audience share rose to 27.66 percent: more than a quarter of everyone watching TV in that time slot was tuned in to Uzak Şehir.
Compared with the 7.65 of its season opener, the series has gained about 2.45 points in Total in roughly two months. It is the first time Uzak Şehir has reached a double-digit rating this season — but it is not the only series to cross that line.
After series on Show TV and TRT 1, Uzak Şehir became the third show of the season to see double digits.
The first production to break the barrier in the 2026–2027 season was Show TV's Sevdan Bir Ateş, starring Murat Ünalmış and Özge Özacar. Its fourth episode on September 30 reached 10.06 in ABC1, but stayed at 9.68 in Total that night, so it saw double digits only in the ABC1 list.
Next came TRT 1's Taşacak Bu Deniz, starring Deniz Baysal and Ulaş Tuna Astepe, which set the season's ratings record on October 30 with 11.52 in Total and 11.12 in ABC1, and held its top spot on November 6 with 11.11 in Total. Whether Monday night's leader can hold this level next week remains to be seen.
