🇮🇹🗞️| OGGI - #CanYaman's golden summer: between awards, festivals and the return to the set with Bro.
From #Sandokan to The Labyrinth of Butterflies, the Turkish actor is experiencing a season full of recognition and new projects that confirm his professional growth.
Can Yaman is living a summer he will hardly forget. The Turkish actor, now loved by the Italian public and increasingly present on the international scene, has inaugurated 2026 with several projects in the pipeline and is going through a season full of festivals, awards and recognitions that tell better than any word about his professional growth. A path that led him to impose himself as one of the most requested faces of contemporary seriality, denying those who thought that his success was destined to be short-lived. But no: he continues to fly. And maybe it's never been so high.
Can Yaman: a season of awards
Since the beginning of June, Can Yaman has never stopped. After finishing filming in Spain of The Labyrinth of the Butterflies, a project in which he acted entirely in Spanish, he returned to Italy, his second home for more than five years now, where he began to attend various festivals and events. One of the most important was that of the Silver Ribbons in Naples, where he received the "International Protagonist" award for his role as Sandokan in the series of the same name. Immediately after, the actor reached Taormina on the occasion of the Taormina Film Festival, where he was awarded the Icon Award, an award given to figures who had a significant impact on the audiovisual panorama. A further confirmation not only of his acting versatility, but also of his commitment - demonstrated from the beginning - in always wanting to push himself beyond his limits, without allowing himself to be locked up either in a single role or in reductive labels. But the golden moment is certainly not over. In fact, Yaman will continue to travel throughout the Boot, from north to south, where other awards and important events await him. At the beginning of July he will be among the protagonists of the Italian Global Series Festival, which takes place every year between Rimini and Riccione, where Sandokan will receive another recognition as part of the Awards for the Great Series: the International Silver Ribbon, and on the same occasion the Spanish series The Labyrinth of the Butterflies will also be presented. Also in the same period he will be a guest of the Outdoor Film Festival, where he will open the event and receive the Taurus Award, another recognition dedicated to those who have distinguished themselves in the film and television scene. Time for a bath and a little tan - if he will have the opportunity - and then he will have to reach Soverato for the Magna Graecia Film Festival, scheduled until August 1, where he will receive the Golden Column. A series of recognitions that certify not only the success achieved, especially after the arrival of Sandokan, where he gave new life to the Tiger of Malaysia, but also an increasingly evident artistic maturity.
Can Yaman: the next projects
Each award received seems to tell only one thing: Can Yaman will be one of the leading faces of Italian television in the coming months. In fact, filming of the comedy Bro should begin shortly, in which he will act alongside Giovanni Nasta - already his adventure partner in Viola come il mare - and which could arrive on the small screen in 2027. He spoke about the project, produced by Lux Vide, to the weekly Chi, explaining that he chose it because he wants to try his hand at "a very distant character" from him, specifying that his goal was to "amplify my labour range and be as complete an actor as possible". In addition, he is also preparing to return to the set of Sandokan, although the start of filming has not yet been formalised.

Before you write ignorantly on the social networks because you simply do not like Can Yaman, I suggest you do at least some basic research on Google what Nostri d’Argento Awards in Italy are. This is not some Turkish Diziland award bought and paid for that you all celebrate and clap to on regular basis, this is the most prestigious Italian Cinema and Series Critics Award since 1946 where panels of distinguished cinema, film and series critics vote and award only those they consider the best and the most worthy. They award people who became legends over the years. So you can start sharing and clapping to
#CanYaman’s success, because Italy and the rest of the world already does.
I am also attaching some photos from
Taormina Film Festival ICON Awards covered by likes of Deadline for you. That is where actors and actresses like Helen Mirren go to be awarded for lifetime achievements. It’s great to see Can Yaman so appreciated for his acting craft, loved for his authenticity and celebrated as he deserve. Enjoy the photos 🤍
