‘Çarpıntı’ Comes to an Early End: Why Did Kerem Bürsin’s Series Finish So Quickly?
One of Star TV’s most ambitious dramas, Çarpıntı, has unexpectedly bid farewell to the screen. The series, which aired its final episode on December 7, ended much earlier than viewers anticipated — raising the question: What really happened?
Starring Kerem Bürsin, Deniz Çakır, Sibel Taşçıoğlu, and Lizge Cömert, Çarpıntı debuted with strong expectations. Yet despite its powerful cast and dramatic storyline, the series struggled to maintain momentum.
Ratings Crash Triggered the Final Decision
Although Çarpıntı started with high hopes, the show’s recent rating performance signaled trouble. In the Total, AB, and ABC1 categories, viewership numbers continued to fall sharply week after week.
The 12th episode, which received notably low ratings, further weakened the series’ chances of recovery. After assessing the decline, both the channel and production company jointly decided to end the show.
As a result, Çarpıntı aired its 13th and final episode on December 7, 2025, closing its run far earlier than originally planned.
The Final Episode Ties Up the Story
In its last broadcast, the series provided answers to unresolved questions and revealed the ultimate fate of its characters. Although short-lived, Çarpıntı delivered an emotionally intense finale.
