OGM Universe’s latest drama, "Reborn (Çarpıntı)," has delivered a standout launch on Star TV, rapidly emerging as one of the most talked-about new titles of the Turkish television season. Just two episodes into its run, the series is already demonstrating exceptional momentum in primetime ratings, audience engagement, and social media traction.

Following its premiere on Sunday, September 7, "Reborn (Çarpıntı)" debuted with solid results, placing fourth across all key demos: a 3.50 rating in Total, 3.51 in AB, and 3.88 in ABC1. However, it was the second episode that signaled the show’s breakout potential. On Sunday, September 21, the drama surged to a 5.09 rating in Total (up 45%), climbed to #1 in AB with a 4.93 rating (up 40%), and hit 5.23 in ABC1 (up 35%), claiming the second position in both Total and ABC1 categories.

Ekin Karaman Koyuncu, Global Distribution & Partnership Director at OGM Universe, emphasized the show's broader potential: “The early success of 'Reborn (Çarpıntı)' highlights not only the power of Turkish drama at home but also its growing resonance worldwide. With its universal themes and compelling performances, we believe this series has strong potential to connect with audiences far beyond Turkey.”

The growth reflects the show’s compelling narrative pull. From its first episode, "Reborn (Çarpıntı)" resonated deeply with viewers by exploring powerful themes of love, sacrifice, and emotional healing. A particularly moving final scene between the characters Aslı and Reyhan quickly trended across social media platforms, reinforcing the show’s emotional impact and virality.

Produced by Onur Güvenatam and directed by Burcu Alptekin, the series is written by Deniz Dargı, Cem Görgeç, and Mevsim Yenice. Its strong creative foundation is further bolstered by cinematic production values and standout performances. Lead actors Kerem Bürsin and Lizge Cömert have been widely praised for their on-screen chemistry, while Sibel Taşçıoğlu and Deniz Çakır deliver emotionally charged performances that anchor the series.

With strong domestic ratings, a rich narrative foundation, and growing international appeal, "Reborn (Çarpıntı)" is on track to become one of the defining hits of the 2025–2026 television season for Star TV and a key asset in OGM Universe’s global portfolio.
