Synopsis
The series opens in 1520, when Prince Süleyman learns of his father’s death and ascends the Ottoman throne. At Topkapı Palace he rules with his childhood friend and grand vizier Pargalı İbrahim beside him, while campaigns expand the empire abroad. Into the imperial harem comes Aleksandra, a captured slave who takes the name Hürrem, wins Süleyman’s heart and, breaking precedent, becomes his legal wife. Her rise sets her against Mahidevran, mother of the eldest prince Mustafa, and against courtiers who fear her influence. Over four seasons, love, succession struggles and palace intrigue shape the reign and the fates of Süleyman’s children.
