One of TRT Sales’ standout titles this year, Children of Paradise follows İskender, a former gangster from İstanbul who finds himself starting over in a quiet Aegean town. With its themes of hope, healing, and new beginnings, the series tells a deeply human story. We spoke with İsmail Hacıoğlu, who portrays İskender, Özgü Kaya, who plays Gönül and Melisa Şenolsun, who portrays Ayla, about their characters and the emotional core of the story.
