She added, ” in society this series has been one of the highest rated dramas in history in Turkey, so we are certain that it will have the same impact in the U.S., commanding attention from the first episode, both for its actors and for its high-intensity plots.”

Amor Prohibido is an adaptation of the novel Ask-i Memnu by the famous Turkish writer Halit Ziya Usakligil and marks the return of Beren Saat to the Spanish-speaking audience in the U.S. in the starring role of the beautiful Bihter, a young woman from a good family who suffers the sudden loss of her father. But while Bihter visits her father’s grave every day, unable to overcome his sudden demise, the rest of the family, including her mother, goes on as if nothing had happened. While Bihter lives in a permanent state of mourning, her mother Fatma (Nebahat Çehre) is busy preparing for the wedding of her other daughter, while she herself tries to capture the attention of a rich widower. The plot will focus on how complex family relationships can be, especially between mother and daughter. Will Bihter be able to keep her mother out of her life? Will Fatma allow her daughter to live the life she thought was her due? Will Fatma be her daughter’s enemy, or will she become an ally in order to maintain her status in a rich society?

Amor Prohibido will captivate the U.S. Hispanic audience with its intense plot of loves, passions, deceptions, and betrayals. It should be noted that Beren Saat’s masterful performance in the series won her two consecutive Golden Butterfly awards (Turkey’s Emmys) for Best Actress.
