This scandal shook Poland. The creators of "Heweliusz" are making a series about "skin hunters"

The upcoming Netflix series "Skóry" will consist of six episodes and is set to premiere in 2028. Directed by Jan Holoubek and Kasper Bajon, the script is written by a four-person team. Filming will take place in Łódź, Warsaw, and Silesia until April 2027. The series is a psychological thriller centered around Bundzior, a former prisoner turned paramedic, who becomes entangled in a web of corruption. It explores themes of greed and moral decay, referencing the notorious "skin hunters" scandal from 2002, where paramedics sold patient death information and sometimes caused deaths. Holoubek emphasizes the need to fully recount this story and its broader socio-economic context. Additionally, Holoubek's new series "Wśród nocnej ciszy" will premiere on HBO Max on November 13, featuring a cast including Łukasz Simlat and Tomasz Schuchardt.
