Last month, it was announced that the Turkish remake of the Brazilian telenovela "Avenida Brasil" was officially in production and we wrote a very detailed breakdown of who will be playing who in the highly anticipated adaptation.
Today (Aug 16), NOW has officially unveiled the first teaser for the series, which is expected to premiere in September. In its time, Avenida Brasil captivated all of Latin America and broke viewership records, and Ay Yapım, the first production house to snag the format rights, is hoping to achieve the same success.
Directed by Hilal Saral, the series features a stellar cast including Cemre Baysel, Alperen Duymaz, Gonca Vuslateri, Yiğit Kirazcı, Halil İbrahim Ceyhan, Gamze Karaduman, Dilara Aksüyek, Seda Güven, Meltem Baytok, Melisa Duru Ünal, Berfin Ant, Zeyno Eracar, Mustafa Avkıran and Cengiz Bozkurt.
The remake follows the story of the titular character, played by Cemre Baysel, who had her life turned upside down after losing her mother at a young age. When her father, the only person she had left, remarries, she is abandoned in a dump by her stepmother, Nur. Having endured many years of hardship, Leyla returns years later, determined to take revenge on Nur.
Leyla will bring to the screen the emotional journey of this young woman as she battles her stepmother, who ruined her life, and how her quest for revenge will be tested by love.
