The legendary serpent queen Shahmaran first drew audiences into its mystical world, blending Turkish mythology with a captivating modern drama. Viewers followed Sahsu’s journey of self-discovery as hidden prophecies unraveled and ancient secrets emerged from her homeland’s past. Yet the season’s end brought darkness as well, with the rising of a new threat in Lilith, Shahmaran’s evil sister, imprisoned long ago.
Now in its second season, the story continues as Lilith’s vengeance takes form. Freed from her underground cell, hatred has festered in her heart for long centuries. Stepping forth with monstrous fury, she will see mankind fall and serpents reign. Standing against this storm is Shahmaran herself, awakening within Sahsu’s soul. But her power remains unproven, answers few as an age-old divide threatens all.

Shahmaran is a series created by Pınar Bulut starring Serenay Sarikaya and Burak Deniz. An interesting and mysterious proposal that you can see on Netflix as of right now.
Şahmaran is a Turkish series that is halfway between mythological, cultural, social and, even horror. This is a series about a rather special community of people who feel they are descendants of Sahmaran and, obviously, this means they have a special destiny.
The series features Serenay Sarikaya who fits the role and the physique as she searches for her grandfather.
