Istanbul (April 15, 2026) – Türkiye’s Kanal 7 has commissioned a fourth season of hit daily drama series Behind the Veil (Gelin), which will return to screens after the summer with the same cast and production team that have driven the show's remarkable success.
Produced by Film Yapim Merkezi, Behind the Veil is a powerful contemporary drama exposing the hidden emotional battles inside a marriage of convenience. Since its debut, the series has proved to be one of the most successful dramas of its type on Turkish television, breaking a number of viewing records for Kanal 7 and regularly scoring higher ratings than some of the biggest series on Türkiye's major channels - particularly striking achievement for a show produced on a modest budget for a smaller broadcaster.
Handan Özkubat, Director of Turkish Drama at Eccho Rights, said:
"Behind the Veil has been one of those rare projects that has exceeded expectations at every turn. To see it now heading into a fourth season, with its cast and creative team intact, is a testament to the strength of the storytelling and the loyalty of its audience. We are delighted to continue this journey and look forward to bringing even more of the world to this extraordinary series."
The renewal comes on the back of strong international momentum for the title, with Eccho Rights having recently concluded sales across Poland, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, Moldova and Georgia. The series has also already sold in Israel, Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, North Iraq and Indonesia.
Now heading into its fourth season, Behind the Veil has taken viewers on an extraordinary journey. Season one saw orphaned Hançer enter a marriage of convenience with wealthy heir Cihan - only for genuine love to take root against all odds. In season two, that love was pushed to breaking point by the scheming of Cihan's ex-wife Beyza and his formidable mother Mukadder. Season three brought fresh devastation with the return of Hançer's long-absent mother and the arrival of a vengeful sister determined to destroy Cihan's family at any cost.
