Arafta Series [tt39013436] Turkish release dates episodes

"Arafta" Series was release in YouTube on 21st November 2025, two hours plus running time.

Then Kanal7, Turkish TV channel, released this series on December 1, 2025. This Turkish release, Ep.01, is half length of the YouTube release. Ep.02, Turkish release, is the other half of the YouTube episode1.

Can two release dates, for Türkiye, be stated?

BECAUSE

Arafta YouTube Release of Episode1 = Episode 1 and 2 of the Turkish release.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers!

For clarification, I bought Arafta series YouTube membership and I can confirm that Episode 1 and 2 released by Kanal7 form Episode 1 released on YouTube. Episode 3 and 4 released by Kanal7 form Episode 2 released on YouTube.

Thank you @Maya.

Here is my submission #251207-173900-369000 submitted right now: I hope I did it correctly.

Does it means I have to wait for that submission approval to submit 

Running TimeAddition Turkey (TV version) (Episode 2)?

No rush for an answer on that point.

Thank you.

Now, my last question regarding this topic is as follows:

I did submit and got approved Episode 4, Turkish release, which is part of Episode 2 YouTube Release.

Now, do I continue with the Turkish TV release schedule and numbering or does IMDb prefers the original YouTube releases to be submitted first and only?

Thank you for all your help.

@Malagaaunike- You're welcome! 

The original release dates are the ones that should be listed first as we list titles with their original release date. If there were other releases this will have to be indicated respectively with the release type and attribute.

@Malagaaunike -- It is good if you know what stands for the Episode 4 at IMDb. Because I'm not so sure in view of the official Arafta schedule.

Episode 4 at IMDb. Is it one of the 60-minutes episodes produced?

Or is it the 4th Mega episode from the official schedule?

If it is the 4th mega-episode, then which one? From the Free, or Basic, or Advanced Membership? And then also consider the different sets of episodes between the mega-episodes.

And then also consider the different sets of episodes between the memberships for each mega-episode. [This is edit to the previous message]

Since this thread continues to be marked as "Answered" and an above message from me is hidden as "Private", I'd like to put a direct question hereafter.

@Malagaaunike. When editing the Episode #1.4 on IMDb page, you are doing so to which episode exactly:● Episode 4 a 60-minute episode as it was produced in this series of 100 episodes;● Mega-Episode 4 as it was released for the Free membership – includes two and a half of 60-minute episodes;● Mega-Episode 4 as it was released for the Basic membership includes three 60-minute episodes;● Mega-Episode 4 as it was released for the Advanced membership includes five 60-minute episodes?

I submitted Episode4 as a 60 minute episode as produced abd released in Türkiye.

Based on Maya's answers I have to change that to the "Mega Episode 4" as it was released for free on Youtube.

The Mega Episode 4 and the "Turkish 60 minutes episodes included" I have to wait to see their release by Kanal7.

I hope my answer makes sense.

Based on my calculation and viewing, Basic Membership, I believe that they have started to include "first part" episodes from "Mega Episode 5" so that the Turkish released episodes will not be seen, will not run,  "ahead" the YouTube release.

I hope I make sense to you.

I will be upgrading my Arafta YouTube Membership next, when my Basic membership runs out.

It is an astonishing and very addictive series of the upmost quality in all domains of Turkish series I have seen so far. (And I have viewed a few)

I never liked the IMDb rule to merge episodes in one title page when they released together, and this series is a good example of that short-sighted policy.

Perhaps, Malagaaunike needs some deeper and wider explanations from IMDb team on how the episodes of this and similar series should be represented in IMDb titles with correspondent dates of release. Because there are at least three possible variants, with different dates and variants of merged episodes, according to the official schedule at Instagram:

As we can see, the "Advanced" members watched first two episodes some days earlier than the "Basic" ones which, in their turn, some days earlier than the "Free" ones. So, the "Original" might mean something else than the meaning used for purposes of IMDb.
