The makers of the show are overwhelmed with the far-reaching response from Pakistani viewers.

Our international audiences are growing every day around the world.

We released our show Ertuğrul in Pakistan two weeks ago and the YouTube channel has already reached ONE MILLION subscribers and has had 58 MILLION views.

All in all, it seems that the show’s success has rubbed off on PTV, and in a good way. Perhaps this will spur the broadcaster into bringing more engaging content for its viewers.
