HBO Europe has started production on two original drama series in Poland.
Blinded by the lights is a 6×1 hour production set in Warsaw and Wataha, also 6×1 hours, the second season of a highly acclaimed drama, the first series of which was the highest rating premiere in HBO Poland’s history and aired on Channel 4’s Walter Presents in the UK.
“Our continuing goal is to produce distinctive, high quality drama for local audiences. We believe Blinded by the lights, a story set in Warsaw’s demi-monde and showing off the city in a wholly new way, will not only appeal to Polish audiences but also to our subscribers all around the HBO Europe region. We are confident it will equally excite audiences internationally.
“Wataha, set in the rugged Bieszczady Mountains, has already proved its appeal to viewers having achieved huge ratings in Poland for its first season. It also played extremely successfully in the other HBO Europe territories and has sold in foreign markets. We are very excited by this new chapter and the way the writers explore some of the challenges now faced on Europe’s longest border.
