Notes

Casting

Malhun Hatun

The series was initially named Diriliş: Osman. Aslıhan Karalar, the actress who played Burçin Hatun, was imagined to play the role of Malhun Hatun, who did not appear in the first season. Aslıhan Karalar was the first actress confirmed to join the series. However, in series, Osman's first partner is Bala hatun who was played by Turkish actress Özge Törer. This was only verified after the series' first episode. Before Season 2, Özge Yağız and Yağmur Öztürk were expected to play the role of Malhun Hatun due to the fact that they both shared videos of them taking fencing lessons. This thought was dropped after Özge Yağız took part in the TV series Sol Yanım and Yağmur Öztürk took part in the TV series Acemi Anneler. Yağmur Öztürk was still, however, rumoured to play the role at some point. The 43rd episode trailer then revealed that Funda Güray was likely to play this role, however, it turned out that she would portray Aksu Hatun. It was later confirmed that Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy would play the part.

Ertuğrul Gazi

Mehmet Bozdağ said there will be a surprise about this character in Kuruluş: Osman while Engin Altan Düzyatan, who plays Ertuğrul in Diriliş: Ertuğrul, said that he may give a surprise, but "no clear decision can be made". He may later appear in some dreams (like Süleyman Şah) or in a flashback. Ertuğrul was at first thought to appear in Season 1. When he didn't appear, he was thought to be played by Engin Altan and appear in the second season. Other rumours indicated that Ediz Hun would play his role. The character's appearance was When the first trailer was released, it was confirmed that Tamer Yiğit would portray Ertuğrul.
