“Last year, American viewers took full advantage of their viewing options, and drama was one of the favorite genres. Interestingly, many of the productions that dominated the ratings were foreign series that were not made specifically for the U.S. audience. So, we are convinced that Kanal D Drama’s Turkish series will continue to have the impact and acceptance that good content brings,” said Francheska León de la Barra, Marketing Director of Kanal D Drama in the U.S. and LatAm. “The U.S. audience continues to ask for and embrace universal stories where women are the protagonists, like ‘Juegos del Destino’. We are sure this series will immediately captivate our fans.”

Juegos del Destino (Baht Oyunu) is a romantic comedy that tells the story of Ada (Cemre Baysel), who grew up among superstitious women, believing that the women in her family are haunted by a curse that forces them to marry the first man they fall in love with, in order to be happy, or they will be unhappy all their lives. But fate has prepared a surprise for Ada, who after discovering that Rüzgar (İdris Nebi Taşkan), the man she has married, has deceived her, decides to act to avoid being a victim of the family curse. As part of her plan, she begins working for the attractive and charismatic Bora (Aytaç Şaşmaz). This will quickly take her on a challenging and romantic journey, which will force her to question everything she believes, and the superstitions she has grown up with. Will Ada decide to remain a prisoner of the family tradition, or will she risk everything for true love?

The cast of Juegos del Destino features a group of young actors who are emerging from the flourishing Kanal D drama factory. The series also features the stellar performance of model and actress Aslı Sümen (Tuğçe), who represented Turkey at the Miss World pageant in 2017.
