Exclusive: Rizwan Manji (Schitt’s Creek) and Chandni Shah (Barbie) have joined the CBS multi-cam comedy pilot Zarna cast alongside lead Zarna Garg, who co-writes and co-executive produces with Darlene Hunt.

Lovers Anonymous has to be one of the most original web series to come out of Netflix Turkey. This is a story of two love/relationship experts who are forced to work with each other, and have different opinions of how to solve any crisis they come across in their clients’ lives. The duo work in a love hospital and have vast knowledge of the subject. Dealing with the patients is the hard part, and their struggles form a bulk of the show.

Cem

Halit Ergenç is Cem, the love expert who has never shown his real face to the public, thanks to his body image issues from a young age. Cem has been a relationship expert for many years, and hence now has transformed into an ‘guru’ who runs a hospital and treats love as a disease. Cem has serious intimacy and trust issues, ever since he witnessed his mother cheating on his father.

Have you ever considered admitting yourself to a hospital after a heartbreak? In Netflix’s Turkish romantic comedy, Lovers Anonymous, the drama unfolds at a love hospital where those dealing with the consequences of a breakup often end up. Cem, the ‘love scientist,’ believed that love was a disease that one had to be cured of. He considered the entire process of finding one’s soulmate a useless endeavor that distracted people from focusing on their ambitions. Cem was a popular columnist who suggested methods to cure ‘love-sickness’. Seeing the rise in demand, Cem proposed starting a love hospital with his mentor, Halil. The hospital was an immediate success, with young and old checking in to ‘cure’ themselves. But there was a catch: Cem was an introvert who preferred not directly addressing his audience, and he had hired an actor to impersonate him. Things took a turn when the actor...

Is love a disease, and can one be cured of it? Netflix’s recent Turkish series Lovers Anonymous explores love and the complexities that come with it. The concept in itself is unique and intriguing. While there are hospitals and medical facilities that deal with physical and mental health, the series proposes the need for a love hospital that would cater to heartache and the devastating consequences of a breakup. The problem is widespread, and a facility that only caters to problems related to love somehow makes sense. But in such a case, the most important question is, can we treat love as a disease? Even if it can be treated scientifically, can the patients be cured of lovesickness? Well, according to Lovers Anonymous, such a dedicated approach is definitely possible.

The concept is explored through two opposite characters, one who believed that love was a disease that his patients needed to be cured of,...

Created by Basar Basaran, Lovers Anonymous is a Turkish romantic drama centered around a hopeless love-hating cynic, Cem, and a woman who believes in romantic possibilities, Hazal. Cem was a socially awkward man who detested the idea of making public appearances, so he had an actor impersonate him in public. Cem’s unique opinion on love drew quite a crowd, but no one knew that the man they saw on stage was not Cem but his impersonator. Being anonymous helped Cem analyze his subjects without having to ever confront them, but his happiness was short-lived when the actor who impersonated him died after falling from his balcony. Cem tried to make peace with the possibility that he was about to become a public figure. The love hospital he and his mentor, Halil had built would lose its credibility if they did not confess the truth. But when Halil was about to introduce him,...

"Your last hope. Call me before you ruin your life." Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for a streaming comedy series called Lovers Anonymous, about the kooky guy who runs a Love Hospital in Turkey. A fun look at love in the modern world. This looks like something along the lines of The Lobster or Fingernails or Equals. Cem, scarred by a childhood that crushed his trust in love, runs the "Love Hospital" (to cure those suffering from the "love disease") – until Hazal, who believes in the power of love, disrupts his life. Will they both change each other? Will Cem learn to appreciate the power of love? This stars Halit Ergenc, Funda Eryiğit, Rıza Kocaoğlu, Zerrin Nişancı, Selcuk Borak, İdil Fırat, Ceren Benderlioğlu, & Seda Akman. All of Cem's success and dreams now depend on Hazal, an unexpected presence in his life who, in stark contrast to him, believes that love will save the world.
