Netflix has announced "Skóry" ("Skins"), a series that draws on one of the most notorious criminal scandals in recent Polish history. Filming has begun, and the production is due to reach the platform in 2028.
What the series is about
The starting point is a case from the early 2000s, when it emerged that staff of the ambulance service in Łódź were profiting from patients' deaths. According to the announcement, they sold information about deaths to funeral homes and even deliberately caused the deaths of sick people.
"Skóry" is a psychological thriller rather than a documentary reconstruction. Viewers follow the story through a fictional protagonist, Bundzior, a former prisoner and wrestler who starts work at the ambulance service and is drawn into a brutal scheme. He must choose: stay silent and profit, or risk everything to expose the truth.
The creators
The series is directed by Jan Holoubek and Kasper Bajon, known for series including "Heweliusz" and "Wielka woda". Holoubek called the case an extreme example of the moral collapse of a public service. He said he wants returning to it to be an attempt to come to terms with the past and a tribute to the victims and their families. The makers also want to show the social and economic context of the transition era.
Bajon says he is interested in how greed can push a person to commit crime. He explains that fictional characters let them present these dilemmas more universally and avoid a simple split into good and bad people. Tomasz Patora, the journalist who exposed the scandal years ago, has been invited to collaborate.
Production and premiere
Work on set will continue until April 2027. Filming will take place in Łódź, Warsaw and Silesia, among other places. The series will have six episodes, and its debut on Netflix is planned for 2028.

Netflix is available in the UK, so people living here will be able to watch the series too. The source, however, gives no information about language versions or subtitles in individual countries.
