Years later, Jakub Gierszał returns to the role of the controversial Piotr Langer. We met our anti -hero for the first time in a story about the adamant lawyer Joanna Chyłka (Magdalena Cielecka). The title Langer is darts, familiar, clever and intelligent businessman and a man with a dark past, who has been escaping justice for years. He had an independent trilogy, in which Remigiusz Mróz looks closely at him, and introduces two prosecutors on the pages of books – Karolina Siarkowska and Olgierd Paderborn, who try to get him with all their strength.
Six -episode series “Langer” It was created on the motives of the novel of the best -selling cycle and is the second Polish production of Skyshowtime (after last year’s series “Śleboda”). This time, prosecutor Karolina “Siarka” Siarkowska (Magdalena Boczarska), who obsessively approaches the case – will use all the available means to bring the killer to the trail of Piotr Langer – to bring the killer a killer a justice.
Langer himself, in turn, meets Nina Pokora (Julia Pietrucha), who invites him to an exciting game and leads a kind of dance with him. To this must be added the figure of Olgierd Paderewski (Piotr Adamczyk), a prosecutor, who connects quite complicated relations with sulfur, and he is not light in his professional and private life.
The first two episodes of the Serial “Langer” debut on Skyshowtime today, on May 22, before the premiere we had the opportunity to talk to the cast of production about their heroes, their connecting relationships, Langarze as characters, returns, music and how they would describe the series in … three words.
Jakub Gierszał, whom we recently saw in the film “The colors of evil. Red”, and next year we will see in “Duel”, he returned to the role after a few years. What feeling is after a long time to “go into shoes” by Piotr Langer?
“This is definitely something I haven’t experienced before – a return to the same character, but in another project (…). It’s an interesting experience and such a challenge for us – how to approach it, i.e. based on what we did with this character in ‘Rod’and now create her even more developed world. Make the viewer behind the backstage of Langer’s everyday life, “says Interii Jakub Gierszał. What attracts viewers in characters like Langer?
“There is indeed something like that, not only” Langer “, but in recent years such heroes have become more popular. Why do people fasten them? Do they see something interesting in it? There is visibly something mysterious about them.”
Langer and Nina connects a game more, or more dance in which they are approaching each other?
“I think that this is a combination of these two things – dance and play. Certainly, everything is calculated from Langer. Certainly something more is tied between them “.
After almost ten years, Julia Pietrucha returns to the screens. In “Langiera” he plays the form of Nina Pokora, who begins with the main character a kind of dance. What does the actress think about her character and what are her future professional plans?
“Nina Pokora is an intriguing figure, a phenomenal, majestic, statuesque woman – in a sense. She enters the charity auction of Piotr Langer and thus also appears in his life. She gets with him a kind of game in an affair, in which he is not known who will dominate” – she said at the solemn premiere of the series Julia Pietrucha.
“This attraction between them is that the deeper they enter this relationship, the more it is not known who will be lossy at the end” – he adds.
The actress also notes that The series is not just a thriller or a crime story. There is also a lot of humor in it, leaving the eye to the viewer.
“We managed to get an additional element that has not appeared before. A kind of kind, maybe not comedy, but treating history with a grain of salt” – says Julia Pietrucha.
Another project before the actress and singer – in 2026, the cinema will debut “Duel”, on the set of which she met with Jakub Gierszał and the director of “Langer” (and diring “Load”) – Łukasz Palkowski.
Piotr Adamczyk (“UFO Project”, “For All Mankind”) takes on the role of prosecutor Olgierd Paderewski, Magdalena Boczarska (“Plash”, “Heaven in Hell”) – in prosecutor Karolina Siarkowska. Their professional relationship is complicated. Sulfur is obsessed with catching Langer, Paderborn is not willing to (yet) to believe in her theories. The actors tell Interia about their characters, improvise on the set and what intrigues viewers in the form of Langer.
“With Magda Boczarska I have already met many times at work and we are friends privately, which in a sense helped us in this conflict quite professional relationship (in the series – editor’s note) Siarkowska as a prosecutor has a completely different point of view than Paderborn regarding various crimes that are trying to decipher. It worked as a warm thread of relationships, because who likes this tummy?” – said Piotr Adamczyk.
Magdalena Boczarska in turn added: “I am very lucky to We’ve been knowing Piotr for years. We have already played a marriage twice – unsuccessful each time, but we actually have a very close relationship and for sure It allows us to work together and improvise each other. It also helps in trust – I know that I can afford more with Piotr. ”
Piotr Adamczyk also told us a bit about why viewers (and readers) It fascinates the subject of evil and serial murderers.
“Stories about serial murderers we like to watch or read – as fictitious characters. Then it is easier to swallow – these hardships and atrocities we meet. On the other hand, I wonder why this evil is very fascinating and I think we want to watch them especially in the performance of good actors. Kuba Gierszał shows us such a vivisection of eviland because it is so safe because it is played, it We watch this evil and we observe psychological behavior of home warmthfrom the couch or from your favorite armchair in front of the TV. ”
One of the most intriguing characters of the series is prosecutor Siarkowska, who is obsessed with Langer’s capture. Although her methods do not always fall within the limits outlined by the law, it is impossible not to support her.
“She tries to get a villain at all costs, and that sometimes she reaches for various methods? She repeats about herself that she is following the idea of law, but the problem is that she interprets this right in her own way. But I would not say that she is controversial. (…) I like that she obsessed in – Langer’s dying and solving puzzles at all costs – he carries in himself; that he is breathing; that there is no life at all except the case.
Langer’s figure and an attempt to answer Why evil fascinates was outlined in an interview with Interia, the most -read Polish author and creator of Langer and Chyłka, Remigiusz Mróz.
“This is a fairly important and extremely deep and psychological question that there is no short answer to. I think that you could write scientific treaties on this subject, because it all boils down to the fact that this is a character actually devoid of any positive features. That is, created contrary to this scheme, which should shape, because the heroes, especially when they are the main characters of the series, usually we can give some positive features so that Sympatimizing. history, namely the fact that we want to avoid danger to get to know evil, to be able to recognize such people and to know how to defend against them.
Łukasz Palkowski, director of the series “Langer”, In turn, he presented the process and evolution of production from the first appearance of Piotr Langer in “Chyłka”.
“When we were building a film world ‘Scrub’because the literary was already built, Langer’s figure at the beginning was basically a kind of episode that we consistently developed from season to season. This character seemed to us a worthy adversary. And here, natural evolution was that the same adversary eventually becomes the main character. ”
Palkowski laugh also that the three words that “Langer” would describe are: “My favorite hero”.
In the series “Langer” they also play important roles Kamil Nyżyński (“Blinding from the lights”, “Fan”, “Profileka”) and Mila Jankowska (“#Bringbackalice”, “support”). Nierziński plays Langer’s right hand – it’s enough to say that his duties are quite … diverse. Jankowska plays an assistant to Nina Pokora.
“(Olmow – editor’s note) is Langer’s right hand, he knows all his dark secrets. He is a man from dirty work definitely” – says Interia Kamil Nyżyński.
“I think that not only me, but also people who watch such series, curious about what is hidden in the mind of such a man or people committing such things (like Langer – editor’s note). It is known that this is fiction and totally invented things, but this curiosity attracts people to investigate what is behind these deeds, or what is hidden in the head of people doing such dark things” – tells the act viewers in dark stories.
And what will viewers attract in the series “Langer”?
“This is a series for people who like a detective story, strong, dark with a pinch of black humor. This is a project that will keep all viewers in suspense. ”
Mila Jankowska agrees with him: “I think it is a very brave, absolutely surprising series. There are a lot of twists and I think that from the first minute he simply does not give us a rest and breathe for a moment.”
Aldona Mili Jankowska, in turn, is a very nice heroine, starting her career and, as the actress says, “she has nice plans for the future. She is very devoted to her work, she certainly also has a lot of sympathy for Nina (Julia Pietrucha – editor’s note)”.
How will her fate go? This will be discovered by viewers.
