The new series will tell about post employees. However, the main characters don’t just deliver parcels and packages: they help people who find themselves in a tight spot.
This is what Yulia Mischenko, showrunner, told us about the new project:
“We have now started filming the first season which will have 40 episodes. You can help people in any situation, no matter where you are – this idea became the main message of the film. Our characters are kind, noble, and big-hearted. I am convinced that the viewers will take to them immediately. In each episode, there will be stories of regular people, and post employees will be involved in those stories without even wishing to. Besides, each episode will show relationships between the main characters…”
The genre of the new series is a detective with melodrama and comedy twists. And as we have understood, there will be elements of different genres mixed into the series, including action.
The director of the multi-episode project is Aleksandr Parkhomenko known to the audience by Dr Baby Dust and 15 Vladimirskaya street series told us about the social component of the new series.
“We are making a story about people, their challenging relationships, but will also tell about social issues they face in an adventure form. I can tell you there will be love, intrigues, and some action.”
As for locations, some filming will take place outside in real conditions, and the other part will be filmed in one of the pavilions where the set for the series has been built.
On the first filming day actress Elena Mikhaylichenko was working on the set: she got the lead role in the series. The actress told us about her character:
“My Lena is a regular woman. After divorcing her husband she brings up her daughter alone and starts working at the post. In the beginning Lena is full of doubts and lacks confidence. But later she meets wonderful people, events tempering her character happen – and she becomes stronger, more persistent and confident. And there will be positive changes in her personal life as well…”
“There will be other extraordinary characters. Actress Elena Repina who the audience knows and loves for her type plays one of such characters. Besides, there is another wonderful actress involved – Valentina Vovchenko-Baranovskaya familiar to the viewers from Doctor on Call. There will be new faces as well – young actors from Odesa and Dnipro. We found them thanks to traveling castings and the actors have become a great part of the team,” said Yulia Mischenko, showrunner, who is also the head writer for the project. “There is a big team of our long series screenwriters working on the project: Mark Shparber, Tatyana Ereskina, Olga Artyukh, Sergey and Natalia Shevchenko, Inga Balitskaya, Irina Feofanova, Lesya Shovkun, Kateryna Pekur, and Antonina Pikhovshek. Besides, just recently the writers’ team had new additions – Yevgeniy Bilanyuk and Pavel Pashtet-Belyansky. I can assure you that the stories will be fascinating and dynamic.”
It is known that the filming will last until the end of June, and the audience will see the premiere episodes the following autumn on Ukraina TV channel.
Best of luck, energy and inspiration to the project team! And we’ll regularly tell the viewers about the happenings on The Post set.
