Reception

Binbir Gece was a hit in Chile, where its success resulted in many Chileans naming their babies Onur (boys) & Sheherazade (girls). It played in the United States, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. It was a hit in Russia in the Turkish Drama Category.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The show was picked up by Netflix in the United States, but curiously only the first 49 episodes as of August 2017.[8] This has infuriated a number of Netflix viewers that watched the series not knowing it would end abruptly at episode 49, leaving many matters unanswered. A writing campaign is underway.[9]

The series became a primetime hit in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Macedonia as well as in Romania, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Greece.[10] It increased the popularity of Istanbul as a tourist destination among Serbs and led to a greater interest in learning Turkish.[11]

Broadcast

The series originally aired from November 7, 2006 to May 12, 2009 on Kanal D. It aired in more than 56 countries.[12] The series aired in Chile on Mega from March 3, 2014 until January 4, 2015,[13] in Indonesia on antv as "Shehrazat : Seribu Satu Malam" from August 3, 2015,[14] and in Brazil on Band from March 9, 2015 until September 15, 2015.[15] On March 1, 2021, the series premiered on Nagorik in Bangladesh as Sahasra Ek Rajani.
