MIPCOM Spotlight: Star Media

Filming is underway for the fourth season of Star Media’s Under Military Law, which is based on events that occurred during Nazi Germany’s 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union.

The Reckless, directed by Darya Poltoratskaya, focuses on the stories of two different young women with difficult lives. Vlad Riashyn, founder and general producer at Star Media, says the fact that the series focuses on strong women is “extremely relevant nowadays, so we could not ignore it.”

The Detective Anna series sees the titular 19-year-old discover that she has supernatural powers that enable her to solve mysterious crimes in 19th-century Zatonsk, Russia. At MIPCOM, Star Media will also be shining a spotlight on The Rurik Dynasty, its production about that ruling period in Russian history, as well as the new eight-episode thriller series Cold Shores.

“We hope that these shows will be appreciated by our international colleagues and subsequently find audiences abroad,” adds Riashyn.
