Antena 3 kicks off this Sunday at 9:22 pm with the premiere of the Turkish drama Family Secrets. The first episode is already available on Atresplayer Premium. The series has earned widespread praise from critics and viewers, topping popularity charts at home and selling to more than twenty regions, with a second season already greenlit. Leading the cast are Turkish stars Kaan Urgancıoğlu and Pınar Deniz.
The show blends secrets, tension, romance, and dramatic revelations to explore themes of innocence, justice, legality, and ethics. Ceylin Erguvan emerges as a brilliant and fearless attorney who challenges conventions in pursuit of true justice. Ilgaz Kaya, a cautious prosecutor, applies steadfast rigor to uphold the law. Their paths repeatedly collide, yet when Ilgaz’s brother faces a murder charge, he turns to Ceylin for counsel. In that critical moment, both seek the truth and the real killer, and their lives begin to change in meaningful ways.
To celebrate the premiere, Antena 3 will air a special broadcast night, followed by another Turkish sensation that is drawing high attention. The series Unfaithful is nearing its final, gripping episodes.
The lead character, Ilgaz Kaya, stands as a prosecutor celebrated for integrity. He embodies his father Metin’s values and maintains a distant, principled approach at work, while deeply caring for his family, even if his relationship with his brother Çınar remains strained.
Ceylin Erguvan represents an idealistic young lawyer ready to push boundaries to defend her moral convictions. The daughter of a man unjustly imprisoned, she distrusts the system but remains driven by the quest for true justice. She stays close to family, especially her younger sister İnci, whom she has raised in her father’s absence.
Metin Kaya, Ilgaz’s father, leads the homicide division and is known for his honesty. He inspired his son’s sense of duty but struggles to connect with Çınar, a tension amplified by past accusations related to his wife’s death.

Pars Seçkin works as a prosecutor beside Ilgaz and is the brother of Ilgaz’s former fiancée. Ambitious and sometimes prone to superiority, Pars harbors a deep affection for Ceylin.
Rose Erguvan, also known as Gul, is Ceylin’s mother. She runs the household with a calm exterior while concealing a talent for manipulation. She shares a strong bond with her eldest daughter Aylin and demonstrates an ability to simulate illness to serve her purposes.

Eren Duman is Ilgaz’s closest ally within the homicide department. Known for courage and a lighthearted, joking nature, he helps balance the tense work environment.

Aylin Erguvan Yilmaz is Ceylin’s elder sister and the mother’s favorite daughter. The weight of her brother’s death lingers, and tensions between her and Ceylin surface as the broader family story unfolds.
Neva Seçkin, Pars’s former fiancée and a judge based in Ankara, still feels a mix of admiration and jealousy toward her brother and remains emotionally connected to Ilgaz even after their separation.
