Telewizja Polska scheduled the premiere of the 11th season of Ranczo for December 6 at 20:25 on TVP1, ten years after the show ended its original broadcast.
The returning hit series comes back with six new episodes under the subtitle “Ranczo: Zemsta wiedźm“, according to Telewizja Polska. Director Wojciech Adamczyk staged all six episodes using scripts written by the late Andrzej Grembowicz.
The new run aims to deliver a complete closure for the residents of Wilkowyje.
Original cast members returning for the revival include Ilona Ostrowska, Cezary Żak, Artur Barciś, Marta Chodorowska, and Grażyna Zielińska. New additions to the ensemble feature Dorota Stalińska, Katarzyna Maciąg, and Karolina Chapko.
Viewers can watch a special behind-the-scenes program about the production process on Friday at 21:25 on TVP1, as announced by Telewizja Polska.
Plot details and character updates for the revival
Leaked script details indicate how the production addresses characters whose actors passed away. Pawel Królikowski and Franciszek Pieczka died in 2020 and 2022 respectively.
Lucy’s husband Kusy will be at an art exhibition in France, while Stach Japycz stays in a sanatorium in Ciechocinku, according to RMF FM. Daniel Olbrychski joins the cast as Ignacy Japycz, the cousin of the senior character.
Political figures Kozioł and Czerepach continue their conflict in the upcoming episodes. Meanwhile, Lucy devises a plan involving a witch sabbath to reverse a streak of bad luck.
Marta Chodorowska discussed the evolution of her character Klaudia in an interview with VOX FM, noting the challenge of portraying the role a decade later. “To było dosyć trudne zadanie, bo musiałam być nadal Klaudią, ale dziesięć lat później,” Chodorowska told VOX FM.
“Cieszy mnie bardzo to, że nadal pozostała taką szaloną osobą, która jednak nie traci wiary w to, że można ten świat starać się zmieniać albo przynajmniej mówić głośno o tym, że powinno coś wyglądać inaczej,” Chodorowska told VOX FM regarding her character’s enduring spirit.
