But just how long will the story continue, and when will viewers witness the final, dramatic episode? Here’s everything you need to know about Tradimento – from episode breakdowns to air dates and the highly anticipated series finale.
Originally aired under the title Aldatmak in Turkey, Tradimento premiered on Turkish network ATV on September 22, 2022. Created by acclaimed screenwriter Yıldız Tunç and directed by Murat Saraçoğlu, the series ran for two full seasons, concluding in its home country on June 6, 2024.
With a total of 71 episodes, each running approximately 130 minutes, the Turkish version delivered a highly emotional and dramatic narrative centered around betrayal, family conflict, and the search for justice. The show starred Vahide Perçin, Mustafa Uğurlu, and Feyza Sevil Güngör, who became household names thanks to their powerful performances.
Due to the international success of other Turkish series like Terra Amara and Endless Love, Italian broadcaster Canale 5 decided to acquire the rights to air Tradimento, tailoring it to suit Italian viewing habits.
The Italian version of Tradimento is re-edited into shorter 45-minute episodes, making it easier for Italian audiences to follow the story through daily and weekly broadcasts.
While the Turkish audience has already seen the emotional conclusion of Tradimento, Italian viewers are still midway through the journey. With over 100 episodes still to be aired as of July 2025, it’s expected that the Italian run will conclude around late 2025, potentially in November or December, depending on Canale 5’s scheduling.
Despite airing nearly a year after its Turkish finale, the Italian version of the show has maintained high ratings, especially on Sundays, proving that Turkish dramas still hold strong appeal among European viewers.
The popularity of Tradimento lies not only in its dramatic twists and romantic entanglements but also in its exploration of deeply human themes – betrayal, loss, and redemption. Viewers have praised the series for its emotional depth, complex characters, and its portrayal of strong, resilient female leads.
Critics have noted that the adaptation also benefits from careful editing, making the transitions between scenes smooth and digestible for an Italian audience. Moreover, the combination of stunning Istanbul locations and intense plotlines makes for compelling television that rivals even some domestic productions.
