Netflix has decided to scrap production on a Turkish original series called “If Only” after Turkish officials refused them a filming license unless they removed a gay supporting character from the script.
“Netflix remains deeply committed to our Turkish members and the creative community in Turkey,” a Netflix spokesperson told TheWrap Tuesday. “We are proud of the incredible talent we work with. We currently have several Turkish originals in production — with more to come — and look forward to sharing these stories with our members all around the world.”
The eight-part relationship drama starring Turkish actress Özge Özpirinçci was ordered in March and was being made by Turkish production outfit Ay Yapim, with Ece Yörenç serving as creator and showrunner.
