Drawing on the connotation that, at present, television drama is the strongest narrative tool popular culture possesses to represent and comment on the socio-political context it is produced in, this paper explores how the depiction of religiosity in Turkish television drama became more visible since the 2010s and changed from neutral to committed. The idea that television drama is a powerful tool in present days cultural production derives from Dominique Moïsi and R.A. Saunders theories on the power of television series. Religion, especially Islam, gradually returned to public life in Turkey since the 1950s; after a period of strict secularism under the Kemalists during the first decades of the Turkish Republic. Manifestations of religion in cultural products such as literature, theatre and film, were scarce in the early republican years and if depicted, it was presented negatively. Since the ascend of the AKP regime, religious expressions increased in number and became more explicit; a development manifesting itself in all aspects of Turkish society. It is, therefore, not surprising to find it back in television drama. This paper aims at exploring the increase in the depiction of religiosity in Turkish television drama from the 2010s onwards. Using film analysis embedded in the context of Bourdieu’s theory on cultural production, it will investigate the content, the context and the production process of a selection of series, representing different socio-political strands of Turkish society. The paper will, for instance, analyze the television series of Samanyolu, the channel related to the Gülen movement, Turkish state television channel TRT, series broadcasted on government-friendly channels and series produced by streaming services such as the Turkish Blutv and Netflix. The paper will explore to what extent and how religion is depicted in the series: are rituals performed; are religious expressions used; is pious lifestyle displayed; is being religious good or bad? The analysis aims at answering the question: which developments in Turkey’s society does the increase of the depiction of religion reflect? Sunni Islam is, however, not the only religion depicted in Turkish television series. Although, only in a small percentage of the series, the depiction of other religions such as Shamanism, Judaism and Christianity, minority religions in Turkey, and other Islamic brands such as Alevism, will be taken into account.
