Disney Plus faces backlash for not broadcasting Atatürk series

A US-based TV series-film platform has sparked widespread reaction after it canceled the Atatürk TV series, which it had initially announced it would broadcast. The platform, which started its operations in Türkiye last year, had announced the broadcasting of the Atatürk series. However, in recent weeks, the platform removed its domestic content and declared that it would not be airing the Atatürk series. This decision has led to a series of critical responses from Turkish citizens and politicians.

İsmail Dükel expressed his disapproval, stating that there is no acceptable justification for removing a series about the founding leader of the country under pressure. He called for an immediate reversal of the decision and urged for the series to be broadcast on October 29. He further added that if the platform refuses to do so, the Turkish government should take appropriate action.
