🎭 Ben Leman – Is the End Near?
The fate of the Turkish drama Ben Leman | My Name Is Leman remains uncertain, with a final decision expected imminently. Despite strong fan support and an active social media campaign that helped boost ratings, the numbers have reportedly fallen short of the expectations set by both the production company and the broadcaster.
According to journalist Birsen Altuntaş, there is a real possibility that the series could conclude as early as episode 13, which would serve as the official finale if the decision is confirmed.
Ratings Pressure and Weekend Competition
This potential early ending has sparked disappointment among viewers, many of whom point out that the series airs on weekends — a notoriously difficult time slot due to intense sports competition. Fans argue that this scheduling significantly affects ratings and is largely beyond the control of the production team. Some even suggest that had the series aired on a weekday, its run might have been even shorter, highlighting the harsh realities of television competition.
A Risky Theme in Prime Time
Another factor cited in the uncertainty surrounding the show’s future is its strong focus on female-centered storytelling. While praised creatively, such themes have historically been considered risky in terms of mass viewership. This has led some viewers to question the potential success of upcoming projects on the same network, including the announced series Omur Usta, suggesting that even the return of a long-absent star may not be enough to reverse current trends.
Final Decision Pending
For now, the final verdict has yet to be announced. Until then, the future of Ben Leman | My Name Is Leman hangs in the balance, leaving fans anxiously awaiting confirmation on whether episode 13 will mark the end of the story.
