Netflix’s lavish Turkish drama Old Money—a glittering clash of inherited empires and self-made fortunes—is officially storming back for Season 2 in 2026, promising to crank the intrigue to feverish heights with the Aslanbey family’s return amid unprecedented scandals and seismic betrayals. The official trailer, dropped October 2025, teases a powder keg of confrontations from Episode 1: shifting loyalties that fracture alliances, buried secrets exploding into the open, and chaos igniting like Istanbul’s Bosphorus fireworks. If Season 1’s debut on October 10, 2025, hooked viewers with its opulent mansions and forbidden passions, this sophomore run—greenlit November 2025 amid record viewership—raises the stakes skyward, peeling back layers of the elite’s facade to reveal the rot beneath. Fans craving more of Nihal and Osman’s electric tension, brace: The Aslanbey clan’s power struggles are back hotter than ever, with production slated for early 2026 and a likely fall premiere.

The renewal announcement landed like a cliffhanger resolution on November 13, 2025, courtesy of Deadline Hollywood, confirming Netflix’s bet on the series’ breakout success. Produced by Tims&B Productions—the Turkish powerhouse behind hits like Modern Kadın and The Shadow Team—Old Money (originally titled Enfes Bir Akşam) exploded onto global charts, snagging No. 2 among non-English series with 5.8 million views in its debut week and topping lists in 19 countries. Creator Meriç Acemi’s script, directed by Uluç Bayraktar, masterfully weaves soap-opera melodrama with cultural commentary on Turkey’s wealth divide, drawing comparisons to Succession meets Bridgerton in Istanbul’s elite circles. “Season 1 was just the appetizer—the Aslanbeys’ empire is cracking, and Season 2 serves the feast,” Acemi teased in a Netflix Tudum interview. “Expect betrayals that cut deeper, romances that scorch hotter, and twists no one sees coming.” With no official premiere date yet, insiders point to late 2026, aligning with production kickoff in early 2026 across Istanbul’s glittering locales.

For those late to the lavish party, Old Money centers on Nihal Aslanbey (Aslı Enver), the poised heiress of a crumbling old-money dynasty, whose world shatters when self-made tycoon Osman Bulut (Engin Akyürek) crashes her orbit. Tasked with designing a yacht for the Bulut brothers—ruthless new-money moguls—Nihal navigates debt-ridden family woes, forbidden attraction, and cutthroat boardrooms. Season 1’s eight episodes, streaming from October 10, 2025, delivered pulse-pounding drama: Nihal’s yacht deal with the Buluts sparks sparks with Osman, but family secrets—her father’s debts, sibling rivalries, and a tragic backstory—unravel amid lavish galas and shadowy deals. The finale’s gut-wrench: Nihal walks away from the Aslanbey legacy and Osman, leaving Istanbul in a tearful release, her departure a poignant nod to freedom over fortune. “It’s tragic yet empowering,” Enver told Variety. “Nihal’s arc is about reclaiming agency—Season 2? She’s not done fighting.”

Season 2, penned by Acemi with Bayraktar’s helm, picks up the fractured threads, diving deeper into the Aslanbey clan’s implosion. Trailer teases open with Episode 1’s explosive opener: Nihal, post-departure, faces a surprise inheritance twist pulling her back into the fray, while Osman—haunted by their split—confronts Bulut family betrayals from within. “Shifting alliances” dominate: Berna (Dolunay Soysert), the scheming matriarch, orchestrates a comeback coup, pitting siblings against each other in a power grab that exposes long-buried sins. The Aslanbeys storm the screen with renewed ferocity—Nihal’s mom (Selin Şekerci) reveals a scandalous affair, while brothers (İsmail Demirci, Serkan Altunorak) feud over the crumbling empire. “The trailer hints at jaw-dropping confrontations,” a set source told Forbes. “From boardroom brawls to midnight rendezvous, it’s chaos from minute one—stakes higher, secrets deadlier.”

The love story reignites with scorching intensity. Nihal and Osman’s “tragic ending” in Season 1—her exit amid unresolved passion—sets up a slow-burn reunion fraught with obstacles. Osman, now navigating Bulut expansions, clashes with rivals eyeing his throne, while Nihal rebuilds independently, perhaps launching a design firm that intersects his world. “Their chemistry is electric—Season 2 explores if love survives the divide,” Akyürek shared with Soap Central. “Betrayals? Plenty, from family to former allies.” Supporting arcs amplify the drama: Taro Emir Tekin as a vengeful cousin plotting takeover, Zeynep Oymak as Nihal’s loyal confidante hiding her own agenda, and Armağan Oğuz as Osman’s right-hand man torn by loyalty. New faces rumored: A mysterious investor stirring the pot, per Tudum whispers, adding layers to the “old vs. new money” thesis.

Visually opulent, the trailer showcases Istanbul’s splendor—yacht parties on the Bosphorus, penthouse showdowns, and rain-soaked reconciliations—scored to pulsating Turkish pop. Bayraktar’s direction amps the soap: Close-ups capture tearful confessions, wide shots frame lavish estates as battlegrounds. Reception? Season 1’s 74-country Top 10 run and positive buzz (IMDb 7.5/10) fuel optimism, though some critique alcohol-heavy scenes as unrealistic. “It’s escapist fantasy,” Acemi defended. “But the heart—love conquering class—is real.”

With Netflix banking on Turkish hits (You Do You, Love Tactics), Old Money Season 2 cements the platform’s Istanbul investment. No cast changes announced—expect Enver and Akyürek’s wattage to shine—but production’s 2026 start suggests fall premiere. Fans, mark calendars: The Aslanbeys are back, and betrayal never looked so luxurious. Stream Season 1 now—chaos awaits.
