The second season of Shahmaran, a fantasy drama series from Türkiye, is headed to Netflix next month.
Based on the novel Şah-ı Mar; Şahmaran’ın Çocukları by Emine Buzkan Kaynak, and steeped in mythology, fantasy drama series Shahmaran follows Şahsu (Serenay Sarikaya, Medcezir), a psychology lecturer from Istanbul who, in Season 1, goes to Adana for work. This trip gives her the perfect opportunity to confront her estranged grandfather, who had abandoned her mother before the woman’s death.
Soon after arriving, Şahsu finds herself in the midst of a mysterious community called Mar. The Mar people believe in the Şahmaran (Westernized to Shahmaran), a mythical creature that is half woman, half snake. They have been waiting for a historical prophecy to happen, and they believe Şahsu is the chosen one in the prophecy.
Şahsu is unaware of the prophecy or her supposed role in it. What she is well aware of is her attraction to Maran (Burak Deniz, Kaçak), her guide in the Mar community. (Trailer is from Season 1)
Season 2 picks up where the first season left off, with the long-awaited fulfillment of the prophecy: the Shahmaran begins to awaken in Şahsu’s body — an awakening for which challenging trials must be completed to be fully realized.
Meanwhile, Lilith (Ece Ertez, The Life and Movies of Erşan Kuneri) emerges from her curse well. Ready to exact revenge for the betrayal she endured for centuries for the sake of love, she tries to navigate this strange, new world, with Cihan (Mert Ramazan Demir, UFO) accompanying her.
Although Lilith’s anger left Maran alone in this world, he still has Şahsu. In the midst the battle, their love will be tested, while Shahmaran and Lilith continue in their struggle over the “Cycle of the Universe.”
Shahmaran: Season 2, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Thursday, August 8, exclusively on Netflix.
