The show's title can be translated to Halka in Turkish and The Circle in English. Although considered a telenovela, the series is a real nail-biter, with more thrill than heartfelt moments. This approach brings a fresh new kind of soapie to South African screens, a much-needed break from the regular shows we see.
The Die Binnekring Turkish series is a brand-new show that started after Die Put ended and is already making waves with soapie fans that are hooked thanks to the riveting storyline, impeccable acting and surprising twists and turns. Here is what we know about the series so far.

Die Binnekring full story
To further elaborate on the plot, mafia leader Eren Karabulut felt the full force of just how dangerous and powerful 'The Circle' can be when he was murdered 25 years ago due to his immense power and the threat it had on the group. During the plot, his newborn baby Cihangir was kidnapped too and used to lure Eren.
Here's what Rantebeng Makapan who played Thomas Mashaba in the popular soapie 'Generations' has been up to
The group told him that to save his baby's life, he needed to meet them at a designated place. Instead of giving Eren his baby back, Eren was killed, the bay was given to mafioso kingpin Ilhan Tepeli, who raised him.
His mother, Humeyra, looked for him but to no avail. So, instead, she was given another newborn baby named Kaan and accepted him as her out of grief. Kaan thought Humeyra was his biological mother and believed his father was murdered.
Fast-forward to the present day, both boys are now adults, and the cracks in their lives are starting to show. After realising all is not as it seems, they each set out on a quest for answers to who they are and how their lives were before. Die Binnekring episodes unfold a new layer of betrayal, secrets and deceit.
