TV SERIES
A Turkish family drama in which painter Funda hires a nanny, Nazlı, while trying to return to her art and protect her marriage.
Not a Stranger, originally titled Seni Tanıyorum, is a Turkish psychological drama series on Netflix. After giving birth, painter Funda has stepped away from her career and is struggling with the demands of motherhood and marriage. She hires a nanny, Nazlı, so that she can return to the studio. Nazlı appears to offer the help the family needs but carries secrets of her own. Her arrival unsettles Funda and her husband İlker, whose relationship also has things left unsaid. The series is a slow-burn family mystery rather than a straightforward account of a crime; the official description does not settle which character can be trusted. Elçin Sangu plays Funda, Melis Sezen plays Nazlı and Ozan Dolunay plays İlker. Other cast members listed by Netflix include Cemal Hünal, Efe Taşdelen, Murat Garipağaoğlu, Mine Teber, Nergis Öztürk, Arbil Tabur and Esra Şahin. Netflix credits Tuğba Doğan as creator. The first episodes describe Funda’s pressures as a new mother, her hope of returning to painting, her marriage and her effort to get to know the nanny. All eight episodes are listed on the official Netflix page. The series premiered September 17, 2026. Netflix describes it as a Turkish drama with psychological suspense and lists most episodes at roughly 42 to 58 minutes. This page explains the initial setup and cast without disclosing the mystery’s outcome.
