The series, which is also known as the Turkish version of the famous “Game of Thrones”, is set in 13th century Anatolia, prior to the establishment of the Ottoman Empire. The story of the show is a tale of the struggle of Ertugrul Gazi, who’s descendants go on to rule the Ottoman Empire as it expanded across Anatolia and Thrace.
Recently, we saw a massive rise in social media activity concerning the show, Netflix also showed Ertugrul as the number trending show in Pakistan.
Celebrities have also spoken about Ertugrul, especially Hamza Ali Abbasi who appreciated the Turkish production show for using television righteously to spread the word of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as the actor shared stills from the serial of a scene where a Hadith in light of the equal treatment of one’s children is being shared.
