premiered on Polsat in late February 1999 and was hailed as a hit almost immediately. Since then, the crazy adventures of Anka and Jacek Kwiatkowski (played by Gabriela Kownacka and ) and their children have been followed by millions of viewers each time. Although the series finally disappeared from the air after more than a decade, it still has a lot of fans and enjoys incredible popularity. However, its backstage hides many secrets.
Where was “The Foster Family” filmed? This is the street where the famous Kwiatkowski house is located
They are usually recorded in a professional studio, especially those that take several years to complete. This rule was also initially applied to “Rodzina podróżcza”, which was filmed for a year in the halls on Chełmska Street in Warsaw. In an interview for Noizz, set designer Ineza Bodyl-Płaskota revealed that this was quite problematic, because after each day of filming, the sets had to be dismantled, which meant they were worn out much faster. When they finally fell apart, a decision was made, mainly to cut costs, to find a house that could become a refuge for the Kwiatkowskis.
The search took a long time, and time was pressing. Finally, one of the directors, there were several of them over the years, came across an advert for renting a building on Frezja Street in the Wawer district, which was ultimately chosen. “It was actually a bit too small for our purposes, but we decided on it because we were looking for something quickly and we thought it would be a fairly short action. It turned out that we stayed there for almost 11 years,” the set designer said, adding that nearby there was a villa that was adapted to house the main characters’ neighbours.
This is what the house from “The Foster Family” looks like now. Its owners are fans of the series
Few people realize that both houses belonged to the same owners, and when the last shot was taken on the set, they were put up for sale. The one where the Kwiatkowskis lived first found new tenants, and interestingly, it was supposedly bought by fans. “A family with children and a dog moved in there, very similar to the one in the series. They were fans of “Foster Family” and really wanted to live in this house, even though it is very specific. It really was their dream,” Bodyl-Płaskota revealed, adding that not only did they not renovate it, but they also did not decide to change the interiors.
Recently, the famous district was visited by Mariusz Kozak, known to the wider public from the TTV program. At the request of fans, he created a recording in which he showed the famous villa, and then published it on his TikTok profile. – There is someone sitting in the yard, so I’m a little afraid to go there. But okay, I’ll record a little bit for you through the fence. How I sacrifice myself for you – he said to the camera, after which he decided to also show the building known as the Kossonów house, but there he also noticed the owners bustling around in the garden. The post was swarming with comments, and some Internet users revealed that the property was put up for sale again some time ago and is now officially in different hands. Its general renovation is to begin soon.
