Yakamoz S-245 (Into the Deep): A Turkish Sci-Fi Thriller Beneath the Surface
What if the very sun that gives us life becomes a deadly force that ends it all?
Welcome to Yakamoz S-245 (Into the Deep)—a pulse-pounding Turkish series that dives into the heart of an apocalyptic mystery where survival is measured in shadows and seconds. Produced by OGM Pictures and streaming on Netflix, this 7-episode Turkish drama merges science fiction with high-stakes emotion, setting itself apart in the realm of post-apocalyptic thrillers.
A Deep Dive into Chaos
At the center of the story is Arman (Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ), a brilliant yet rebellious marine biologist and diving instructor. Though born into wealth, Arman has chosen a life of simplicity by the sea, far from his privileged upbringing. But fate calls him back to the depths—not of the sea, but of a world unraveling.
Arman accepts an assignment aboard a research submarine following a mysterious global disaster. What begins as a scientific mission turns into a harrowing fight for survival when the crew discovers an unimaginable truth: exposure to sunlight now means certain death. As society collapses above ground, the crew of the Yakamoz S-245 dives into the ocean’s embrace, hoping it can shield them from a dying world.
Survival Beneath the Surface
The apocalyptic thriller quickly turns claustrophobic. On board are scientists, military personnel, secrets, and rising tensions. Resources are scarce. Trust is even scarcer.
In the confined quarters of the submarine, Arman must navigate not only physical dangers but psychological ones. He frequently clashes with Umut (Ertan Saban), the submarine’s no-nonsense second-in-command. What begins as professional disagreement soon spirals into a power struggle, threatening the fragile alliance keeping everyone alive.
Meanwhile, Arman finds himself face-to-face with someone he never expected to see again—Defne (Özge Özpirinçci), a past love he thought was long gone. In the heart of catastrophe, could this be a second chance?
What Caused the Catastrophe?
As the crew travels further into the deep, the central mystery unravels: Why is the sun killing everyone? What triggered this solar apocalypse? The deeper they dive, the more questions arise. And the further they get from land, the closer they come to the truth—about the disaster, about each other, and about the choices they must make to survive.
But not everyone on board has the same agenda. There are whispers of hidden motives, classified military orders, and buried pasts. Can science and strategy align when paranoia and desperation threaten to consume the crew?
A Spin-Off That Stands on Its Own
Based on the Belgian series Into the Night, Yakamoz S-245 is a rare gem in the realm of Turkish dramas—blending the emotional depth of character-driven storytelling with the tension of a sci-fi thriller. Shot in breathtaking locations like Foça and Ayvalık, Turkey, the series balances beauty with brutality in every frame.
Each 40-minute episode is tightly packed with action, mystery, and emotional nuance. The limited episode count adds urgency, making it perfect for binge-watching.
