Polish Drama The Stroke Coming to the U.S. & U.K.

The Polish series The Stroke, starring Jacek Poniedziałek, will be available on Viaplay in the U.K. on March 9 and in the U.S. beginning March 12.

Created by Polish playwright Paweł Demirski, the series centers on a celebrated culinary critic and TV personality who has a stroke and must confront the question of what to pursue after his dreams have already come true.

The series’ portrayal of a gay protagonist is notable, as LGBTQ identity remains politically and socially contested.

The first four episodes will drop on March 12. The final four will premiere on March 19. They will be available in Polish with English subtitles.
