The Netflix series "Matki pingwinów" ("Penguin Mothers") has returned with a second season and, according to WP Film, is at the top of the platform's Polish chart after the latest weekend. The review was published on 26 October 2026.
What the series is about
The show was co-created by Klara Kochańska-Bajon and Jagoda Szelc. It follows parents of children with disabilities and their everyday lives. The review's author, Basia Żelazko of WP Film, notes that after the first season carers were given space in the media to speak about their struggles, the lack of institutional support and fears for the future.
In season two, four of the characters (Kama, Jerzy, Ula and Tatiana) run a school called Biegun, intended as a safe place for children with unusual needs. The school faces debts and an inspection by the education authority (kuratorium). The creators also show that the children are growing up: they become interested in sexuality, and their peers can be cruel to one another. One storyline involves a mocking video circulating among pupils.
The reviewer's verdict
According to the author, the series' greatest strength is its rounded characters, and the show blends drama with humour, without pathos or sentimentality. She praises the cast: Barbara Wypych as Ula, Monika Frajczyk, who joined the cast this season, and Mateusz Damięcki. She also says she is confident a third season will follow. That is the reviewer's opinion, however, not an announcement from the platform.
What this means for you
Netflix is available in the UK, so people living here can look for the series in their own version of the service. The source gives no information about availability or subtitles in the British catalogue, so it is worth checking in the app.
