FILM.UA: Love In Chains S3 debuts on Christmas Eve on Polish TVP

Set in the gorgeous Romantic age, with splendid fashion, colorful characters, intrigue, mystery, heart-wrenching drama, and above all, a life-affirming message of love that perseveres against all odds – is just the show to see this Christmas. It has a little bit for everyone and is likely to rivet whole families down near their TVs. Love In Chains 3 will begin airing in Poland on Christmas Eve on December 24th, during prime time at 20:15 on TVP1.

'Christmas is a very special holiday for both Poles and Ukrainians – it is the most important family holiday of the entire year. That’s why it is a great honor and responsibility to bring a little more fun and excitement by premiering our show in Poland at this very time. We hope that this installment in the story of Kateryna will excel the expectations of our devoted Polish fans and bring out many gasps and cheers. We wish all of our Polish viewers a merry Christmas and happy holidays', commented Igor Storchak, CEO FILM.UA Distribution.

Last November, the costume drama premiered on Ukrainian TV, on STB channel. It has achieved noteworthy results. According to Nielsen company's analytics, the series was a rousing success with a commercial audience 18-54 (50+) and became the best Ukrainian TV series of this autumn. 
Tala Prystajetska, series showrunner, comments: 'The launch of Love in Chains 3 in Poland is an exciting and important moment for us. Firstly, the extent to which the Polish audience has fallen in love with our characters makes us feel a tremendous responsibility for everything that is going to happen to them in the third season. And secondly, just imagine how our Polish viewers are going to see the continuation of Katya's story at the warmest and brightest time of the year – during the Christmas holidays. One couldn't dream of a better fortune for the project, of course, but at the same time, it instills even more responsibility. Reaching such heights takes my breath away'. 

In 2019, the first two seasons of period drama has attracted over 3.36 million viewers in Poland, breaking several Polish viewership records. Let’s wait and see if the series about an ever-persevering love will win over the hearts of Polish viewers once again. 'After the stunning success of the first 2 seasons of "Zniewolona" Telewizja Polska S.A. had no hesitation in continuing to work with the producers of the series on seasons 3 and 4. This time, at the stage of pre-production, we were able to discuss and collectively determine aspects related to scripts and artistic values, hence we are convinced that such an experienced producer as FILM.UA Group and StarLightMedia has maintained the level of previous seasons in seasons 3 and 4.

The importance of this programming position for TelewizjaPolska S.A. is evidenced by the fact that the premiere broadcast of new episodes of the series Zniewolona is scheduled to start in strict prime-time during Christmas season, which means that Telewizja Polska S.A. strongly believes in repeating the success of 2019, when “Zniewolona” was introduced to the Polish audience for the first time', added Maciej Muzyczuk, Deputy Director for Programme and Acquisition, Programming Department, TVP.

More than 30 territories around the world, including Japan, Spain, South Korea, the United States, and Latin America, have already purchased the rights in the show.
