Different Lives

About Different Lives

For Emir and his friends—Hasan, Sadık, and Mert—who grew up in Ziyankâr, a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Istanbul, life feels like a game they’ve lost before it even began. Trapped between poverty, violence, and despair, these four young men see soccer as their only chance to change their fate.

Different Lives is a comedy series that airs on atv. Since June 2026 it has reached one season of 13 episodes.

Feyyaz Duman stars as Tarık Dirlik, Nehir Erdoğan as Zehra Cankaya, İlker Aksum as Bayram Cankaya, and Rahimcan Kapkap as Emir Cankaya.
