ALABAWABA - Can Yaman steps into a packed global schedule filled with major productions.

Can Yaman is entering one of the most exciting and busy times of his career. The Turkish singer has been living in Italy and Spain for his new ventures. He is getting a lot of praise before the release of Sandokan, which is one of the most anticipated productions in Europe this year.

The period drama Sandokan, for which Yaman moved to Italy, officially starts tonight. Italy's state station Rai1 will show the first two episodes back-to-back. The eight-part show will keep showing on Monday nights in December.

The effect on the world is already big. Sandokan will be shown in the US, Canada, Russia, Portugal, and the UK as well as Italy. This wide release is a big step forward for Yaman's rise around the world and shows how much money went into the project.

Filming a New Thriller in Spain

Yaman is already deep into another intense job in Spain while the world waits for Sandokan. In the Canary Islands, he is now filming the romantic thriller "El Laberinto de las Mariposas" (The Butterfly Labyrinth).

Alberto Ruiz Rojo and Iñaki Peñafiel are in charge of the eight-episode series, which stars Yaman as Kaplan, a very skilled covert operative. The narrative, which was written by Ángela Obón and Daniel Corpas, is full of action, suspense, and emotional strain.

Filming is slated to end in April, and it will continue in both Madrid and the Canary Islands. Yaman appears with María de Nati, Andrea Duro, Félix Gómez, Noa Rollón, Michelle Calvo, and Leander Vyvey, who make up a superb cast that has made the project even more exciting.

Spain’s Most Wanted Agent

Kaplan's own staff betrays him in the plot, and all of a sudden he is Spain's most wanted man. He has to deal with a complicated love affair while also trying to clear his identity and find out about a huge theft of public monies. Fans are already reacting strongly to the character's mix of action and passion.

A full schedule with more seasons on the way

Yaman's timetable persists for a long time beyond 2024. He will film the second season of Sandokan in the summer of 2026, once he finishes The Butterfly Labyrinth. He will also work on a sitcom and a movie in South America before coming back for the third season of Sandokan in 2028.
