Children of Paradise (2025)
Season 1
Iskender was a feared gangster in the dark alleys of Istanbul, known for his own rough code of honor—until betrayal left him bleeding and stripped of everything he had built. When he opens his eyes in a quiet Aegean town, he finds himself surrounded by warmth he has never known: a caring mother, a blind little sister, a home that feels like it was always his. The townspeople believe he is Kamil, a long-lost son returned; only he knows the truth. But the past never lets go—old enemies, blood feuds, and the ghosts of his choices haunt him still. As he uncovers a shocking secret—that this family is bound to him by blood—Iskender stands at a crossroads. Revenge or redemption? Will he remain the ruthless survivor the streets created, or dare to become the man he was meant to be? This is a story of love, betrayal, and the price of becoming truly human.

S1E1 - Episode 1
Though good at heart, İskender grows up on the streets, in orphanages, and in prisons. He survives solely through his own strength, fighting against every obstacle in his path. But one day his journey takes him to Arafköy, where he realizes that the true reality lies behind its walls. In this town on the warm shores of the Aegean—seemingly a piece of paradise—İskender carries the scars of his past on his back. As he is tested on his path toward becoming whole, he finds the love and longing he has been searching for here. Cennet Ana, little Ayşecik, Bayram the Fisherman, Adem the Wanderer, and Doctor Gönül—who extends a hand to everyone—all leave their mark on his life. But in Arafköy, it is not only İskender who bears a burden—everyone carries their own weight. And as İskender searches for answers, new and unexpected questions will arise before him.
