As a female police officer on the case tries to uncover who she was and why she died, she confronts her own circumstances as a single mother playing the role of a perfect police officer, who is also a woman in crisis.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Thaw<\/em>, the latest original production from HBO Europe, is produced by Bogumi\u0142 Lipski and executive produced by Izabela \u0141opuch, Johnathan Young and Antony Root for HBO Europe. Andrzej Besztak is the executive producer for Magnolia Films. Production on the series is slated to commence in January 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Lipski said: \u201cAt HBO, we are always most interested in telling emotional human stories. When we started working with Marta Szymanek on <em>The Thaw<\/em>, we knew that the biggest strength of her idea was its uncompromising candor and courage in addressing issues commonly perceived as difficult, or even shameful. This time we invite the audience into the world of a thirtysomething-year-old police officer. The compelling crime layer of the show reveals much more\u2014a deeply human and painfully relevant story about things that are most challenging\u2014grief, mourning, loneliness and the sense of being left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Szymanek added: \u201c<em>The Thaw<\/em> is a crime drama and a love story about the relationship between a mother and her 7-year-old daughter. It\u2019s a story that proves that we can search for life even in the darkness. This is exactly what the main character does during her investigation. Because eventually, it lets her experience her private thaw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnathan Young, HBO Europe\u2019s VP of original programming and production for Central Europe, commented: \u201cOn the surface, <em>The Thaw<\/em> is an investigative thriller. But the reason it is so compelling is because it is about a fascinating female character who is both ordinary and extraordinary, frozen in pain and grief and her worse nightmares. The intensity and courage of the writing make this pure HBO.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO Europe has added the new six-part Polish drama The Thaw to its local originals slate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":12492,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[900,3577],"class_list":["post-12491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hbo-europe","tag-the-thaw","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HBO Europe Greenlights Polish Drama The Thaw - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-europe-greenlights-polish-drama-the-thaw\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HBO Europe Greenlights Polish Drama The Thaw - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"HBO Europe has added the new six-part Polish drama The Thaw to its local originals slate.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-europe-greenlights-polish-drama-the-thaw\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-12-12T15:01:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/hbo-europe-logo-1219.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-europe-greenlights-polish-drama-the-thaw\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-europe-greenlights-polish-drama-the-thaw\/\",\"name\":\"HBO Europe Greenlights Polish Drama The Thaw - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-12-12T15:01:27+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-12-12T15:01:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-europe-greenlights-polish-drama-the-thaw\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-europe-greenlights-polish-drama-the-thaw\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-europe-greenlights-polish-drama-the-thaw\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"HBO Europe Greenlights Polish Drama The Thaw\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
