Not only “Quack” or “Sami swoi”. TVP will also create a new version of the cult production

It is impossible not to notice that Polish Television has recently been undergoing a real revolution, also in terms of programming. However, the current management of the station does not intend to give up on all the projects initiated by its predecessors, and one of them is the revival of cinema classics from decades ago. The decision was to be influenced by, among others: high viewing figures for cult productions, but also the success of the new Netflix or prequel.

This time it will be a series in which all attention will be focused on the misalliance, completely omitting the side plots. What is known about the production?

One of them will be Starostecka, who flawlessly created the character of Stefania years ago. However, it is not known what role she will play this time, because the list of candidates for the famous governess already includes such names as Michalina Łabacz, Zofia Wichłacz, Sonia Mietielica and Maria Kowalska. – It seems to me that regardless of the times we live in, the problems that exist in society remain relevant.

But I know that the love story is relevant at all times – she assessed Starosteck’s idea in an interview with Super Express, adding that she would not like to play anyone else except Stefcia. – I became so famous in the role of Stefcia that I probably shouldn’t play another one – she said.
