Netflix has cancelled production on a Turkish TV series over censorship of a gay character.
Eight-part drama If Only was announced in March and was due to be produced by production company Ay Yapim, who had also made Netflix Turkey original Love 101.
A Netflix spokesperson said: “Netflix remains deeply committed to our Turkish members and the creative community in Turkey.
If Only’s creator Ece Yörenç told Turkish film website Altyazi Fasikul (translation by FT): “Due to a gay character, permission to film the series was not granted and this is very frightening for the future.”
