The detective series Back Streets, which has been aired on Kanal D for 18 years, filmed an episode specially for the first year of the Kahramanmaraş-based earthquakes that occurred on 6 February 2023. Some scenes of the filming for the 663rd episode took place in Antakya, where thousands of people lost their lives and turned into rubble.

Famous actors Zafer Ergin, Ozan Çobanoğlu, Ozan Çobanoğlu, Özlem Çınar and Sinem Reyhan Kıroğlu, who went to Hatay for the shootings, visited Antakya and Defne Region and met with earthquake victims.

BACK STREETS’ TEAM ON A MORAL VISIT

During the 3-day shootings, the famous actor Zafer Ergin shared his feelings and said, “We are living the same day here right now. The thought of ‘Is there someone under the places we step on?’ will keep us awake for 15-20 days. There is no such a plateau. I can’t find words to say,” he said.

‘LET HATAY BE A PERSONAL MATTER FOR ALL OF US’

10 years ago, Ozan Çobanoğlu, who said that he came to Hatay for sightseeing, said, “I was very sad when I saw it. It is like there is nothing left. We haven’t forgotten and we don’t want to forget. It’s been a year, but we are here as Back Streets team. It is a place that everyone should see and do whatever they can. As a country, we should do whatever is necessary for Hatay. We should not let them forget this place,” he said.

‘NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN THE SAME’

Sinem Reyhan Kıroğlu stated that she came to Hatay for the first time and said, “We have been very sad since we arrived. One year has passed since the earthquake, but it is still as if the earthquake happened yesterday. Everyone is still in pain. We are also filming a series, but we are filming with our unhappiness. As a human being, no one has been the same after 6 February.”

Özlem Çınar said, “I have mixed feelings. Time has passed very quickly since the earthquake. I have never been here before. We look around in confusion. I cannot believe that I am filming in a real earthquake zone. It is very sad,” he said.

HATAY IN THE TRAILER

The promotional film for the 663rd episode of Back Streets once again revealed the suffering in the earthquake region. The trailer, which appeared on the screen accompanied by Maya Perest’s “Yok Bana Bu Cihanda”, quickly became the agenda of social media.

The trailer, which deeply affected the audience, starts with the statement “The daughter of the family I was looking at was not theirs, they kidnapped her from the earthquake.” Rıza Baba and his team leave all their work aside and go to Hatay for a little girl named Zeynep who was kidnapped from the earthquake zone.

The new episode of Back Streets shot in the earthquake zone will air tomorrow night on Kanal D.
