Founder: Orhan (Season 1)

Founder: Orhan (Kuruluş: Orhan, 2025) is a Turkish historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Bülent İşbilen, the series follows Orhan Bey — played by Mert Yazıcıoğlu — as he steps out from his father Osman's shadow and begins shaping a small tribal force into something far larger. The 14th century setting puts him in the middle of Byzantine collapse and Ottoman expansion.

Orhan's record speaks for itself: he took Bursa and made it the first Ottoman capital, brought Nicaea and Nicomedia under his rule, built the earliest Ottoman fleet, and minted the dynasty's first coins. The show doesn't stop at battlefield victories — it digs into the rivalries at court, the weight of inheritance, and the people around him: Alina Boz, Şükrü Özyıldız, Barış Falay, and Bennu Yıldırımlar.

A direct continuation of Kuruluş: Osman, the new chapter shifts to a different kind of ruler building a different kind of state. Watch Founder: Orhan (2025) online on iFILM.
