Khaberni - The production company decided to halt the series "Love and Tears" after airing its seventh episode, due to declining viewership and increasing crises behind the scenes.
The Turkish press announced the suspension of the series "Love and Tears," starring celebrities Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç, after only the seventh episode aired, thus ending a dramatic experiment that had caused a major uproar since its launch.
The reports clarified that the decision was due to a sharp drop in viewership despite the massive promotional campaign that preceded its airing. The series was unable to withstand the strong competition in the current drama season, leading the channel to decide that the seventh episode would be the last.
It wasn’t just the viewership rates that spurred the halt; the project faced a series of production and narrative crises from the beginning, particularly when writer Dilaara Pamuk withdrew after the third episode, causing notable disruption in the script and delays in filming due to the need to rewrite the events.
The series revolves around a complex love relationship between Mira, a wealthy aristocratic girl, and Selim, a clever lawyer from a humble background.
Amid class conflicts and a buildup of old secrets, the love that united them turns into a source of pain and internal conflict threatening their stability.
