Star TV's highly ambitious drama Çirkin has officially bid farewell to the screen after suffering a dramatic drop in ratings during its second season. Starring Çağlar Ertuğrul and Derya Pınar Ak, the series wrapped up its journey with its 11th episode.
Ratings Drop Forces Early Cancellation
Despite finishing its first 8-episode spring run on a high note, the show failed to maintain its viewer base upon returning for its second season. Plunging ratings combined with high production costs led the network to pull the plug abruptly, without filming additional wrap-up episodes.
