Istanbul Encyclopedia, season 1

Istanbul Encyclopedia, known in Turkish as İstanbul Ansiklopedisi, is an eight-episode television drama that streamed on Netflix beginning in April 2025. Selman Nacar both directed the show and wrote its scripts. The story follows a young woman who leaves her small hometown behind to move in with a family friend she barely knows in Istanbul; adjusting to the pace and pressures of the big city ends up challenging both her sense of self and the values she grew up with.

TVMaze categorizes the show as a mix of drama, comedy and romance rather than pure drama alone. Helin Kandemir and Canan Ergüder appear in the cast. The season carries a modest average audience rating, and no production company credit is listed in the available sources.
