List of Diriliş: Ertuğrul characters

President Erdoğan with the season one cast

This is a list of characters from the Turkish TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, created by Mehmet Bozdağ. It focuses on the life of Ertuğrul, father of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire. In the series, Ertuğrul is portrayed by Engin Altan Düzyatan and Osman is portrayed by Emre Üçtepe.

Most of the notable characters in Diriliş: Ertuğrul are based on real people related to Osman I and the founding of the Ottoman Empire, including Osman I himself, Halime Hatun and Ertuğrul, or fictional characters adapted from the Book of Dede Korkut, such as Selcan Hatun, Banu Çiçek and Bamsı Beyrek. Most of the characters however, were created by the producers of the series as there were just not that many sources from the era.

Every season has additional cast members starring with a main role. In the first season, Serdar Deniz [tr], Hakan Vanlı [tr] and Serdar Gökhan were additional members of the main cast. In season 2, Uğur Güneş and Barış Bağcı were starring as the main cast, and in season 3, Kürşat Alnıaçık [tr], Çağdaş Onur Öztürk [tr] and Cem Uçan were credited as the main cast. In season 4 and 5, Murat Garipağaoğlu [tr], Burak Dakak, Cemal Hünal, Ali Ersan Duru and İlker Aksum were main actors.

Düzyatan said of his character:

...actually, we do not have too much [sic] sources about that era. Our sources are just about 7 pages. We know that he was a real hero.
