Turkish Drama Series (Dizi) – What's Currently Airing
Turkish dizi have an enormous international following. If you're watching for the dramas specifically, here's how channels map to content:
Historical/Epic dramas: ATV (DiriliÅŸ: ErtuÄŸrul, KuruluÅŸ: Osman, Barbaroslar) Romance and family dramas: Kanal D, Show TV, Star TV Crime and thriller: FOX Turkey Mixed prime time: TRT 1
New dizi seasons typically begin in September and run through May-June. PrimeVistaTV provides live access to the same broadcasts that air in Turkey, so you're watching new episodes the same day they premiere.

- Many popular dizi have active subtitling communities online that release subtitles within hours of an episode airing.
