Following a series of shocking murders—including a local grocer, a visa officer at the German Consulate, and the Minister of Interior—tensions rise to a boiling point in Ankara.

With the country descending into chaos, mass protests erupt against increasing police violence.

Amid this turmoil, the once-feared homicide chief, Behzat Ç.

, remains suspended from duty.

As a new superintendent, Himmet, aligns with Counter-Terrorism to exploit the high-profile case for personal gain, the homicide bureau is dismantled.

But when the system fails, those who once served justice outside of it must return.

Reluctantly drawn back into the storm, Behzat reunites with his disbanded team and German investigator Ulrike.

Their pursuit of the truth takes them from the streets of Ankara to the heart of Cyprus—where an old nemesis, the enigmatic Ercüment Çözer, awaits.

Behzat C: Ankara Is Burning is a gritty political noir, blending dark humor, social critique, and suspense—anchored by one of Turkey’s most iconic anti-heroes.
