Before season 2, Özge Yağız and Yağmur Öztürk were expected to play the role of Malhun Hatun due to the fact that they both shared videos of them taking fencing lessons. This thought was dropped after Özge Yağız took part in the TV series and Yağmur Öztürk took part in the TV series . Yağmur Öztürk was still, however, rumoured to play the role at some point. The 43rd episode trailer then revealed that was likely to play this role, however, it turned out that she would portray Aksu Hatun. It was later confirmed that Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy would play the part.
