Human beings, by nature as social entities, belong to a structure to meet their needs and sustain their lives. The most essential institution of this social structure to which individuals belong is the family. From the moment of birth, a person becomes a member of this structure. When examining the process within the scope of modernization, it is evident that changes have occurred in social life, influenced by technology. These changes have led to differences in family structures. The variations brought about by these changes have been reflected in television series, and the representation of the family in fictional narratives has evolved. This situation has also been shaped by shifts in audience expectations and, consequently, changes in production elements. In this context, the study examines two television series produced in the same region but at different times. The first series, Asmalı Konak (2002), broadcast on PROCEEDINGS BOOK ATV, and the recent series, Siyah Kalp (2024), aired on Show TV, both filmed in the Cappadocia region, are analyzed. Using the descriptive analysis method within the framework of the family transformation model, the study explores how these series represent the family. The analysis examines how family structures have changed during the period between the two series and how these changes, along with shifts in audience expectations and production elements, have influenced the fictional narratives of the series. Within the framework of the family transformation model and through descriptive analysis, the study investigates the construction of the storylines, character creation, family systems, socialization values and family interactions depicted in the series. It concludes that over the intervening years, the representation of the family has been influenced by the modernization process. Additionally, as audience expectations have evolved over time, the narrative structures of the series increasingly emphasize intra family conflicts, leading to transformations in production elements as well.
