Turkish TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, created by Mehmet Bozdağ, focuses on the life of Ertuğrul, father of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire. In the series, Ertuğrul is portrayed by Engin Altan Düzyatan, and Osman is portrayed by Emre Üçtepe.
Most of the notable characters in Diriliş: Ertuğrul are based on real people related to Osman I and the founding of the Ottoman Empire, including Osman I himself, Halime Hatun, and Ertuğrul, or namesakes of characters from the Book of Dede Korkut, such as Selcan Hatun, Banu Çiçek, and Bamsı Beyrek. Most of the rest of the characters however, were created by the producers of the series, as there were just not that many sources from the era.
