Amazing start for Phi
Apr 10, 2017
Phi, the brand new drama from Ay Yapim in Turkey, has recorded unprecedented viewing figures on Puhu TV, Dogus Media's new VOD service. The first original series created for Puhu TV, Phi has recorded an aggregated 7 million viewers for its first 3 episodes, which were released together on Friday 31st March. The platform, which launched earlier this winter, reported a 400% increase in app downloads in the week since Phi’s launch, with more than twice as many unique users on the service compared with the week before.
The series was launched with an International Premiere screening at last week's MipTV with leading cast members Serenay Sarikaya, Mehmet Günsür and Berrak Tüzünatac all in attendance.
Phi is a daring, psychological thriller following the celebrity psychiatrist Can Manay (Ozan Güven), whose world is turned upside down by the enchanting beauty of his new neighbour Duru (Sarikaya), who is in a seemingly perfect relationship with composer boyfriend Deniz (Günsür). But Manay’s attempts to manipulate those around him are threatened by the investigations of a journalist (Tüzünatac), determined to unearth secrets of his dark past.
