The streaming service confirmed in May that it would produce the romantic drama in eight episodes, in which, among others, the Turkish film star Özge Özpirincci would participate. But after Turkish authorities - because the series contains a homosexual character - refused to issue a permit for the television recording, Netflix has now withdrawn from production.
This is the first time the Turkish authorities have tried to censor a Netflix production in the country. Series with LGBTQ content such as Orange is the new black and Ryan Murphy's Hollywood are shown uncensored to the Turkish audience.
