Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem (Turkish pronunciation: [muhteˈʃɛm ˈjyzjɯl cøˈsem], English: The Magnificent Century: Kösem) is a Turkish television sequel to the 2011 Turkish television period drama Muhteşem Yüzyıl. Beren Saat is 11th actresses as Kösem. Written by Yılmaz Şahin, Nüket Bıçakçı and Sevgi Yılmaz, it recounts the life of Kösem Sultan, a slave girl who became one of the most powerful women in Ottoman history after she was captured and sent to the harem of Sultan Ahmed I.[1]

The first episodes of the series were filmed in Chios, Greece.[2] An excerpt of the show was screened in Cannes, France at the annual international television festival MIPCOM about a month before its official premiere on Star TV on November 12, 2015.[3][4]

Plot

Anastasia (also referred as Nasia), is a 13-year-old Greek girl who lives an idyllic life in Tinos. Previously, she was painted with a lamb in her hands. This painting was later sent to the Topkapi Palace, where it was spotted by Ahmed, the young Ottoman Sultan, who has just ascended the throne. Due to the impression made on him, Safiye Sultan ordered the girl to be brought to the Topkapi Palace. Nasia showed her repelllant, hot-headed and childish personality, as this was the first time she ever had to face with real difficulties. She swore that she will return to her home. When she arrived to the Palace, Ahmed started to meet Nasia more often. As she has never experienced love before, she rejected Ahmed's love, but later she started exploring the meaning of love, and began to "grow up". Because of her feelings for Ahmed, she changed her mind, and realised that they're destined for each other. Nasia even risked her life for her lover. Due to her bravery and seemingly invulnerability, she became more and more powerful. She changed her name to Kösem, and eventually she became the most powerful Sultana in the Ottoman history.
