The glittering mansions of Istanbul’s elite have never looked so dangerous. The whispered betrayals that simmered beneath the surface in Season 1 are now ready to erupt. Forbidden kisses that could topple empires? They’re coming back with a vengeance. Secrets long buried are clawing their way to the surface, and this time, someone is going to bleed for it.
Netflix has just confirmed the renewal of its breakout Turkish drama Old Money (original title: Enfes Bir Akşam) for a highly anticipated Season 2. The announcement, which has sent fans into a frenzy across social media and streaming forums, solidifies the series as one of the platform’s biggest international hits of 2025. Premiering in October 2025, the eight-episode first season quickly climbed Netflix’s global charts, ranking in the top 10 in over 70 countries and becoming a sensation in non-English language content. Now, with production slated to begin in early 2026, the show is poised to deliver an even more intoxicating blend of luxury, romance, intrigue, and unrelenting drama.
The Allure of Old Money: A World of Wealth and Secrets
At its core, Old Money is a lavish clash between old-world privilege and new-money ambition. The series follows Nihal (played by the captivating Aslı Enver), a sophisticated woman born into one of Istanbul’s most prestigious families. Her life of effortless elegance is upended when she encounters Osman (portrayed by the magnetic Engin Akyürek), a self-made tycoon who has clawed his way to the top through sheer ruthlessness and cunning. Osman isn’t just after business deals; he’s drawn to Nihal with a passion that threatens to unravel everything she holds dear.
The tension between these two worlds — the rigid traditions of inherited wealth versus the raw hunger of self-made success — drives the narrative. Nihal’s family yacht empire is on the brink of collapse due to mounting debts, forcing her to negotiate with the powerful Bulut family, where Osman holds sway. What begins as a high-stakes business arrangement quickly spirals into a forbidden romance fraught with power plays, jealousy, and hidden agendas.
Supporting characters add layers of complexity and scandal. Arda and Berna (portrayed by Serkan Altunorak and Zeynep Oymak) navigate their own turbulent workplace romance, while Selin Şekerci and Dolunay Soysert bring depth to the ensemble with their portrayals of scheming relatives and loyal confidantes. The series masterfully weaves personal betrayals with corporate intrigue, all set against the backdrop of opulent Istanbul mansions, yacht parties, and glittering soirées that hide darker truths.
Fans have praised the show’s lush cinematography, soaring soundtrack (featuring a mix of Turkish and international tracks), and the palpable chemistry between Enver and Akyürek. As one viewer put it on social media: “It’s enemies-to-lovers done right — steamy, sophisticated, and impossible to look away from.”
The Jaw-Dropping Season 1 Finale: A Cliffhanger That Demanded More
Season 1 ended on a note that left audiences reeling. After a season of simmering tension, Nihal and Osman’s relationship reaches a breaking point when Osman makes a shocking offer to Nihal’s father — one that could save the family empire but at an unthinkable personal cost. The final episode delivers a twist that exposes long-buried family secrets and forces Nihal to confront the true price of her privileged life.
Without spoiling too much for those still catching up, the finale introduces a betrayal so profound that it shatters alliances and sets the stage for chaos. Viewers flooded forums and X (formerly Twitter) with theories: Will Nihal forgive Osman? Who else has been hiding skeletons in the closet? And what devastating consequences will follow?
Netflix’s decision to renew comes as no surprise. The series’ massive viewership numbers and passionate fanbase made it an easy greenlight. Production company TIMS&B has confirmed development is underway, with the same creative team — writer Meriç Acemi and director Uluç Bayraktar — expected to return.
Season 2: Darker, Sexier, and More Ruthless
While Netflix has kept specific plot details under wraps, insiders and producer statements hint at a bolder, more intense chapter. Season 2 promises to dive deeper into the fractures within the powerful dynasty at the heart of the story. Expect the luxury to be even more extravagant — think sprawling estates on the Bosphorus, private jets, and exclusive galas — but the scandals will be deadlier.
The romance between Nihal and Osman will evolve into something more complicated and passionate. Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic, already charged with electric tension, is set to ignite with higher stakes. Forbidden kisses that once threatened reputations could now destroy entire empires. The series is expected to explore themes of revenge, redemption, and the corrupting influence of unchecked power, with betrayals that cut deeper and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Production sources suggest the tone will shift darker, with more ruthless power plays and moral ambiguity. Characters who seemed sympathetic in Season 1 may reveal their true colors, while new alliances and enemies emerge. The Bulut family’s influence will expand, bringing in fresh conflicts and perhaps new faces to the ensemble.
Fans can anticipate more steamy encounters, heart-wrenching confrontations, and twists that keep viewers guessing until the final frame. As one producer teased: “If Season 1 was the spark, Season 2 is the wildfire.”
Why ‘Old Money’ Is Netflix’s Next Big Obsession
In a crowded streaming landscape, Old Money stands out for its blend of glossy escapism and emotional depth. Turkish dramas have long been a staple on Netflix, but this series elevates the genre with its sophisticated storytelling, strong female leads, and nuanced exploration of class warfare. The international appeal is undeniable — from Brazil to Europe to Southeast Asia, fans are hooked on the mix of romance, drama, and high-society intrigue.
The renewal cements Netflix’s investment in global content, and with production starting early 2026, a premiere could come later that year or early 2027. Until then, binge-watchers are re-watching Season 1, dissecting every glance and line of dialogue for clues.

The glittering mansions are waiting. The whispered betrayals are growing louder. And those forbidden kisses? They’re about to burn everything down.
