More Exciting Twists Await Leyla
The star of Thanks, the Next One is Leyla, a charismatic and stylish woman who’s navigating life (and men) while trying to prove herself professionally at her uncle’s law firm—with varying degrees of enthusiasm.
Complications arise mostly from the men in her life: the ever-returning ex Ömer, the charming yet sometimes mysteriously intense Cem, the handsome chef Leyla affectionately calls Izé, and the new neighbor Ari, who might just bring a fresh spark to Leyla’s love life.
By the end of season two, things heated up big time. Leyla’s seemingly dreamlike relationship with Cem took a sharp, troubling turn. One moment she was Cem’s fiancée, the next she was facing the toughest battle of her life in court—against Cem and his first wife Defne, who unexpectedly remarried him. But how will this tangled story unfold next?
Season 3 Is Officially Coming
Netflix officially announced the third season back in January. Filming starts in October 2025, so if all goes well, we can expect the premiere in spring 2026 after post-production wraps up.
This quick renewal isn’t surprising since season two just dropped a few weeks ago. The show already had a huge fanbase after season one—not only in Turkey but internationally. And it’s easy to see why: Thanks, the Next One is a fresh, colorful, and emotionally rich story that’s easy to love (and hard not to see yourself in).
What We Know About Season 3
Netflix hasn’t revealed much about season three yet, but the story will likely pick up right where it left off: Leyla finds herself in the middle of a serious court case while her relationships with Cem and Ömer get even more complicated.
Will she reconnect with her old flame? Is there still hope between her and Cem? Maybe Izé and Leyla feel they should give it another shot? Or will Leyla choose a completely new path with Ari? And what will Defne do, who seems much more cunning than she first appeared?
Definitely Worth the Wait
If you’re looking for a show that entertains, inspires, and maybe even holds up a mirror, Thanks, the Next One is a fantastic pick. Instead of idealizing womanhood, it shows all its shades: uncertainties, career dilemmas, matters of the heart, and friendships—sometimes with irony, other times with surprising depth and honesty.
If you haven’t watched it yet, now’s a great time to start. And if you have, you’ve got plenty of time to rewatch the first two seasons before season three arrives. You can even chat with your friends about Leyla’s choices and what you’d do in her shoes. And of course, the big question remains: who will be Leyla’s true love?
