The popular Turkish series Uzak Şehir is back for its third season, with new episodes airing every Monday on Türkiye’s Kanal D. Episode 65 is next, as Cihan and Alya’s conflict shifts back from Budapest to Mardin.
The Turkish drama returned on 14 September with episode 64, three months after its second-season finale. Kanal D has not announced a final episode count for season three, so viewers should expect the established weekly release pattern rather than a fixed streaming-style season drop.

Where can you watch Uzak Şehir?
In Turkey, the series is broadcast on Kanal D, and full episodes are also available on the programme’s official Kanal D page. The broadcaster currently lists all three seasons, including episode 64.
The official verified Uzak Şehir YouTube channel also carries episodes and clips, although availability of full episodes can differ depending on the country. The first episode, for example, remains available through the official channel.
International streaming rights vary by market. In the US, the adaptation is distributed in Spanish under the title Lejos de ti, according to Business Upturn, so viewers outside Turkey should check local availability.
What is Uzak Şehir about?
The story begins with Alya Albora, played by Sinem Ünsal, travelling from Canada to Mardin with her young son Deniz and the body of her late husband Boran.
She plans to fulfil Boran’s wish to be buried on his family’s land before returning to Canada. Instead, she becomes trapped in the conflicts and secrets of the powerful Albora family.
At the centre of the drama is Cihan Albora, played by Ozan Akbaba, whose relationship with Alya gradually develops into one of the show’s main storylines. Kanal D describes the series as a struggle between Alya and her late husband’s family shaped by buried secrets, family loyalties and the realities of the region.
