The 17-episode series “Reset” cost over 5.5 million zlotys – we read on the Gazeta Wyborcza website. A significant part of the material used in the production came from the archives of TVP, MSZ and IPN, to which the television had access for free.

Polish Television to Conduct Audit. Specialists to Analyze Expenditures on “Reset”
As “Wyborcza” emphasizes, half of the amount given is the author’s and producer’s fees. Sławomir Cenckiewicz was supposed to earn the most on “Reset”. According to the data cited by the editorial office, the first of the mentioned creators received a salary of almost 460 thousand zlotys, the second exceeded this result. Cenckiewicz was supposed to have signed several contracts with TVP for a total amount of 530 thousand zlotys, but they should also include the settlements for each episode of the series. The sum is supposedly almost a million zlotys. The historian refused to comment on his earnings at TVP.
Other people who were sympathetic to the government at the time and actively worked for the propaganda of the “old” TVP were also supposed to earn money on “Reset”. Krystian Krawiel, who worked on “Reset” as an “editing director” in 2019, was the editor of Michał Rachoń’s program “Minęła 20”. One of the episodes featured an animation in which a puppet of Jurek Owsiak holds a banknote with the Star of David. Both Rachoń and Krawiel were suspended for repeating anti-Semitic stereotypes. “Wyborcza” reports that Krawiel earned 102 thousand zlotys on “Reset”. Lucjan Ołtarzewski, Jędrzej Kodymowski and Marcin Tulicki also took part in creating the series.
Telewizja Polska declares that it has been conducting audits concerning many areas of the station’s activity in recent years. It confirms that one of them also concerns “Reset”.
