Digital Phablet – Unexpected finale decision leaves Gözleri KaraDeniz cast and crew deeply shocked
The cast and crew of Gözleri KaraDeniz were caught off guard when they discovered the series finale had been broadcast live. They weren’t informed beforehand about this decision, leaving everyone involved quite disappointed.
Just last week, it was announced that ATV would determine the fate of Gözleri KaraDeniz based on the live ratings from that night’s broadcast. The crew was told that episode 16 would end differently. The final decision was to be made after reviewing the ratings data.

However, plans changed unexpectedly.
Due to a football game scheduled for the 23rd, the production team was granted a brief break until Wednesday. This pause sparked curiosity, but not immediate concern. Soon after, the decision was altered. ATV aired the final episode without informing the cast or director in advance.
Sources reveal that director Altan Dönmez and the entire cast and crew found out about the situation only when they saw it on television. The sudden change was both shocking and disheartening for the team, who had believed their future was still uncertain.
Industry insiders report that the series Aile Bir İmtihandır (A.B.I.) is now scheduled to air on Tuesdays, replacing Gözleri KaraDeniz in the schedule.
Following the incident, director Altan Dönmez issued an open letter expressing his frustration and disappointment. He emphasized that the cast and crew deserved better communication and respect after working diligently for months.
Dönmez shared, “The industry continues to surprise us.” “This hardworking team is shocked to learn about this in a way they did not deserve.” I am proud to walk this path with you. Thank you all for your dedication and effort.”
The message quickly gained traction on social media, receiving widespread support from viewers and industry insiders alike.
This unexpected ending has prompted discussions about how television productions communicate their decisions. The Gözleri KaraDeniz team will forever remember this tragic episode as a stark reminder of how fleeting creative endeavors can be.
