What’s confirmed so far

Emre Bey (the Orhan of Seasons 5–6) exited in Episode 191 (May 2025), along with Ecem Sena Bayır (Nilüfer Hatun). Multiple mainstream Turkish outlets reported the farewell ahead of, and during, Episode 191.
Kuruluş: Osman is continuing into a new season with major creative changes. Veteran journalist Birsen Altuntaş reported on July 29, 2025 that director Bülent İşbilen has taken over the series, with indications that the cast will be refreshed. (This is one of the few primary, on‑record updates.)
What’s widely reported/rumored (not officially announced at time of writing)
Talks with Mert Yazıcıoğlu for Orhan. Numerous Turkish entertainment items and social posts citing Altuntaş claim that the production met with Mert Yazıcıoğlu for the role of Orhan in Season 7. These are not yet reflected as a formal casting announcement by Bozdağ Film/ATV, but the rumor has been amplified across outlets and X/Instagram accounts.
Time‑jump and “Orhan era.” Several news pieces suggest Season 7 will shift narrative focus from Osman to Orhan, with an older ensemble and a re‑centered lead. (Again, widely reported; final framing remains unannounced officially.)
Spin‑off chatter (“Yükseliş/ Rise of Orhan”). Some outlets speculate a rebrand or companion project, but these remain unconfirmed by the studio/network. Treat as rumor.
Bottom line (status): As of July 30, 2025, no official casting announcement from Bozdağ Film/ATV names the new Orhan; Emre Bey’s exit and a new director are confirmed, while Mert Yazıcıoğlu is the most‑circulated candidate in reports.
