Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kösem Sultan was one of history's most powerful women, ruling the Ottoman Empire as regent for two separate sultans — her son Murad IV and later her grandson Mehmed IV.
The series caused diplomatic tension when Turkish conservatives protested its portrayal of harem life; meanwhile, it became a massive hit across the Balkans and Middle East, shaping regional perceptions of Ottoman history.
