ALBAWABA - The popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire has a new host. Kenan İmirzalıoğlu has departed from the show in order to concentrate on acting in the next season. Oktay Kaynarca will host the tournament.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire will have a new host in the upcoming season. Kenan Işık, who recently passed away, was the show's beloved presenter.

After being the host since October 5, 2019, Kenan İmirzalıoğlu announced his intention to concentrate on acting in the next season, thereby ending his participation in the competition. The upcoming season will have Oktay Kaynarca as the presenter instead of İmirzalıoğlu.

"The Turkish people have been won over by the name of Kenan İmirzalıoğlu due to his gentlemanliness and successful acting," said journalist Mehmet Üstündağ in an article on the topic. He was also very beloved on the show. However, his desire to return to the series sets is now plainly apparent. The same holds true for Oktay Kaynarca.

Meanwhile, negotiations were underway for the digitally broadcasted serial 'Ayrılık Da Sevdaya Dahil' starring Kenan İmirzalıoğlu. A lot of people were ecstatic when they heard the actor would be playing the starring role. İbrahim Çelikkol replaced the prominent name who allegedly withdrew at the last minute, according to the claims. In October, filming will begin for the series in which Çelikkol will play the character 'Kemal'. Emine Meyrem, who has been in many international productions, will play the major female role in the series.
