Shahmaran, a Turkish series on Netflix, centres on Shahsu, a psychologist who travels to the city of Adana to give a lecture at a university. Following the lecture, Shahsu takes a temporary job at the nearby university and moves in with her estranged grandfather Davut, who abandoned her mother when she was a little child. The implications of Shahsu’s encounter with Maran, a half-human, half-snake Basilisk, propel the supernatural drama series forward.
The programme, which debuted in January 2023, was well received by both viewers and critics, earning praise for its compelling plot, star-studded performances, and incorporation of Turkish tradition. The first season of the show closes with various plots unresolved, leaving one intrigued about the possibility of a second. Here is everything you need to know about the same, on that note.
Will Shahmaran Season 2 Happen?
The full first season of “Shahmaran” debuted on Netflix on January 20, 2023. Eight episodes totaling 44–59 minutes each make up the first season. Here is all we can provide regarding the second round of the series. Regarding the future of the series, Netflix has not yet made any formal announcements. However, given that Burak Deniz, who plays Maran, made hints about the sophomore round occurring, it is reasonable to assume that the show will be renewed for a second season very soon. Turkish media sources cited Deniz as saying that the second season’s planning had already started and that filming will likely start in the summer of 2023. According to the rumours, Netflix’s confirmation may be made public in the following days.
Given that the first season of the show ends with multiple plots unfinished, Deniz’s revelation might not come as a surprise to first-season watchers. Since the former must enter the underworld for the prophesy to fully come to pass, neither Shahsu nor Maran’s future can be revealed. It is improbable that Maran will allow her to leave without him because he adores her so much. If the second season of the show is produced, we might witness Maran attempting to stick with Shahsu despite her descent into the underworld. Even if it means endangering the future of the relationship between people and basilisks, he might strive to discover a way to prevent the same thing from happening.
Maran’s father also says that he hasn’t given his son the last bit of information from the prophecy. This specific revelation and its potential impact on Shahsu’s life and her relationship with Maran may be explored in the next second season. If Shahsu is revealed to be at risk for any prospective harm, Maran may decide to leave his dishonest father behind in order to safeguard his beloved. Davut/Camsap is immortal, therefore he might continue on in a potential season 2 and work to safeguard his grandchild. Shahsu and Maran are almost about to meet the requirements of the prophecy, thus we could also get to see what actually happens to Lilith.
We can assume that the Turkish reports cited above are accurate given the narrative potential for a second season. To expand its Turkish portfolio, Netflix has also created a number of multiseason productions, including “The Club,” “Rise of Empires: Ottoman,” “The Protector,” and “Dirilis: Ertugrul.” We can anticipate Netflix to support the second season of the spooky series given its dedication to creating a wide variety of original content in Turkish. We can anticipate the second season of “Shahmaran” to debut sometime in Q1 2024 if Netflix quickly confirms the production of its second round.
