Rising Turkish star Burcu Biricik plays the lead in “Fatma,” the hotly anticipated new Turkish Netflix Original that will drop worldwide on April 27, for which Netflix is releasing the first trailer.
This groundbreaking show produced by Basak Abacigil, and created and directed by up-and-coming multihyphenate Ozgur Onurme, is about an ordinary cleaning lady named Fatma who becomes a serial killer, but not because she is the murdering type. After committing an unintentional homicide, while searching for her missing ex-con husband, Fatma is forced to keep killing people in order to survive. “Murder becomes a release for the years of struggle and grief that she had repressed,” according to press notes. The show has been described by Netflix director of original content for Turkey Pelin Distas as “a punch in your stomach” and an allegory of sorts about “how you deal with life as a woman in Turkey.”
