Uzak Şehir (literally Distant City) is a Turkish drama produced by Ay Yapım and AyNA Yapım and written by Gülizar Irmak. It premiered on Kanal D on 11 November 2024 and is now in its third season, starring Ozan Akbaba and Sinem Ünsal. It is adapted from the 2017 Lebanese series Al Hayba.
The series is filmed in the village of Narlı in Midyat, Mardin, and its stone houses and Mesopotamian landscapes are part of its appeal. It was the most watched series in Turkey in the first half of 2026 and came second for the whole 2025–2026 season.
Alya, who has built her life abroad, returns with her young son to bury her husband in his family’s home town near the Syrian border. She plans to leave right after the funeral, but the Albora family, who control the region, will not let the boy go. Her brother-in-law Cihan Albora, a feared and powerful man, stands between Alya and her freedom, and two very different worlds collide in a story of power, honour and an unexpected love.
