Şükrü Özyıldız joins Kuruluş series as Commander Vasilius!
The new season of the historical drama Kuruluş, produced by Bozdağ Film, continues to take shape with another major casting announcement. Popular actor Şükrü Özyıldız has officially joined the cast and will portray Commander Vasilius, a fearless Byzantine leader described as the courageous sword of Bithynia and a symbol of hope for his people.
The production, known for its carefully selected cast and large-scale storytelling, has already added several well-known names for the upcoming season. Alongside Şükrü Özyıldız, viewers will see Mert Yazıcıoğlu, Cihan Ünal, Bennu Yıldırımlar, Barış Falay, Burak Sergen, and Mahassine Merabet in important roles. Together, they will bring new layers of drama and intrigue to the unfolding story.
Preparations are now in full swing as the series enters the Orhan Bey era, a highly anticipated chapter in the saga. This shift marks a new phase in the storyline, promising fresh conflicts, political struggles, and dramatic showdowns. Reports also suggest that while the project has been referred to as Kuruluş Orhan behind the scenes, the season may be introduced under the title Sultan Orhan, signaling an evolution in the narrative.
Şükrü Özyıldız is already well-known to audiences for his performances in popular series such as Ruhun Duymaz, Tatlı Küçük Yalancılar, Akıncı, and Nefes Nefese. His addition to Kuruluş not only strengthens the cast but also raises expectations for an intense and powerful new season.
With its renewed ensemble, high production values, and focus on a new historical era, Kuruluş is preparing to return with episodes that will once again capture the attention of viewers both in Turkey and around the world.
