Besides Ertugrul, many fans also recommended other popular Turkish shows like Ask-i Memnu and Icerde. However, responding to one fan, Cardi B stated that she was not interested in watching shows that were set in modern times. So fans started recommending other beloved historical drama Turkish shows.
Turkish TV series are becoming a worldwide sensation, especially in countries with a Muslim majority population. In fact, Resurrection: Ertugrul is massively popular in Pakistan and has millions of views on YouTube. This popular show is set in 13th century Anatolia, which is now modern-day Turkey.
The story is based on real historical events and follows the battles between the Muslim Oghuz Turks and the Byzantine. It also includes parts of the historic Mongol invasion and the Crusades.
Other than Resurrection: Ertugrul and Kosem Sultan, shows like Magnificent Century and Ishq-e-Mamnu have also become worldwide sensations. Magnificent Century is all about the life of Sultan Suleiman, a renowned Ottoman Sultan from the 10th century. Turkish historical dramas are especially popular due to their massive set pieces and gripping plots based on real history.
