ALBAWABA - The long-awaited Çukur movie is finally happening, with Prime Video reviving the beloved series.
The Çukur film, which was planned last year but was put on hold for a number of reasons, has inked an important partnership with Ay Yapım.
By coming to an arrangement with the massive digital platform Prime Video, the firm has brought the project back to life. This deal makes the phenomenon series' movie adaptation official.
We have officially announced the movie's cast for the first time. In the movie adaptation, Aras Bulut İynemli, who portrays Yamaç Koçovalı, the protagonist of Çukur, will play the same part in front of the public. The fans of the sitcom were thrilled that İynemli was involved in the endeavor.
Eyes shifted to the actors who played the other iconic series roles after Aras Bulut İynemli. Names like Kubilay Aka (Celasun), Erkan Kolçak Köstendil (Vartolu), and Necip Memili (Cumali Koçovalı) are expected to appear in the movie, according to backstage knowledge. As of this week, Ay Yapım has begun to negotiate with the other performers.
Furthermore, It's unclear if performers who starred in the series, such as Öner Erkan (Selim Koçovalı), Ercan Kesal (İdris Baba), and Rıza Kocaoğlu (Aliço), will appear in the movie. In particular, fans have been debating whether or not Ercan Kesal would return to the series due to his fate.
Industry insiders speculate that the tale may take place in another universe or after the series' conclusion, although no official statement has been made on the film's script. Fans are already excited to see how the Çukur universe will return, even though the script's specifics are being kept under wraps.

The Çukur movie is scheduled to start filming in the summer of 2025. If all goes as planned, Prime Video should release the movie in the first quarter of 2026. According to reports, Ay Yapım is preparing a unique production for the internet platform and will produce a visually more powerful show.
In addition to being a significant step towards digitization in the Turkish film and television industry, this initiative, which will bring Çukur fans back to the screen, promises an action-packed and nostalgic experience.
