Diriliş: Ertuğrul

Kuruluş: Osman (transl. Establishment: Ottoman Empire) is a historical fiction Turkish television series produced by Bozdağ Film. The first episode of the series, directed by Metin Günay and written by Mehmet Bozdağ, was aired on November 20, 2019.[2] The show is a continuation of the TRT 1 series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, which was broadcast between 2014 and 2019.

Plot

The story includes Osman Ghazi's internal and external struggles and how he establishes[3] and controls the Ottoman Empire. It portrays his struggles against Byzantium and the Mongol Ilkhanate and how he was able to secure independence from the Sultanate of Rum to establish a sovereign state that would stand up to the Byzantine and Mongol Empire and would honor the Turks. The character of Osman faces many enemies and traitors in his quest, and the show illustrates how he was able to overcome these obstacles to fulfil his mission with the help of loyal companions, family, and friends.

Predecessor

The series follows Diriliş: Ertuğrul, which was centered around Osman's father, Ertuğrul, and how he faced enemies and traitors. It began in December 2014 and season 5 of the show concluded with Ertuğrul convincing Berke to start a war with Hulagu Khan. This war was known as the Berke-Hulagu war and resulted in the division of the Mongol Empire into four khanates. In Kuruluş: Osman, Osman faces one of the khanates called the Ilkhanate.

Season 1

Ten to fifteen years[lower-alpha 2] after the Berke-Hulagu war, Ertuğrul Ghazi goes to Konya and he leaves his brother, Dündar Bey, in charge of his tribe. Dündar Bey is susceptible to coercion by others into carrying out their wrongdoings. He falls into the trap of the devious Selçuk Sançak Bey Alişar, and the merciless princess of Kulucahisar, Sofia, who seeks to kill all the Turks. Osman, Dündar's nephew, can see through Alişar and Sofia's plans and warn him about them, despite his refusal to listen. As they continue to build more tension against the Kayı, Geyhatu sends Komutan Balgay to cause more trouble and stop the Kayı, especially Osman, from rebelling against the Mongols. Dündar, who bows down to the Mongols becoming the Sançak Bey, can't see Alişar's anger over his position being given over to him, and he believes him when Alişar blames Osman for his son's killing. Soon after, along with the threat from Kulucahisar, Dündar is shown the truth; Alişar is beheaded by Osman; and Osman has married his love at first sight, Bala. Following this, after many difficulties, Balgay is presumably killed by Osman while Kulucahisar is conquered by the Kayı with Sofia's death happening in the process.

Season 2

Aya Nikola is sent by the Byzantine Emperor, Andronikos II to become the new Tekfur of İnegöl followed by Ertuğrul's return to the tribe. Meanwhile, Yavlak Arslan, the new Uç Bey, seeks to create his state and sees Osman as an obstacle. Later on, they unite against the new threat created by the Mongol Governor of Anatolia, Geyhatu who allies with Nikola against the Turks of Anatolia. Nikola recaptures Kulaca Hisar by poisoning the alps. Bala also faces the arrival of Targun, Nikola's spy, who allies with Osman to save her father, İnal Bey. Along with these problems, Osman is elected as the new after his father's death, which he decides to marry a second wife according to his father's will. After Targun's death, Osman meets Malhun Hatun and initiates a major battle with the Byzantines, historically known as the Battle of Mount Armenia, as well as trying to find the traitor in the Kayı, as his jealous uncle Dündar helps the Byzantines stir traps for him.Osman eventually executes Dündar for his treachery.

Osman Bey, who moved his tribe to Yenişehir, will lay the foundations of his state in this city. One crucial step in this endeavor is to establish a divan. The traditional 'council of a state,' instantly convened, is now a thing of the past. Osman Bey will establish a 'Divan' where he will consult with his Beys. However, this 'divan ' will also serve as a platform for those seemingly friendly enemies seeking to weaken Osman Bey from within.

As Osman Bey aims to build his state , he will face greater challenges, both from apparent allies turned enemies and external threats like the Byzantine Empire. While contending with internal adversaries masquerading as friends, Osman Bey will also engage in a struggle against Byzantium, with the conquest of Marmara Castle paving the way for the ultimate goal: the capture of Bursa and İznik!
