Akhremenko’s character is Barkova, new head of the Ukrainian mob.

The directors of the new episodes are Olga Chajdas and Kasia Adamik. The team behind the script are Piotr Szymanek (head writer), Katarzyna Tybinka, and Marta Szymanek.

What do the makers of Wataha have in store for the audience? “The new season is dark, full of dangerous and unexpected situations”, Bogumił Lipski said before the start of shooting. We are going back to the picturesque and mysterious Bieszczady mountains. The story, still with captain Wiktor Rebrow as main protagonist, will be thrilling and surprising. In the trailer for the new season, the hero walks across a frontier forest and comes across several characters he had met along his service. Eventually, he faces a ferocious wolf.

Both previous seasons of Wataha are available on HBO go.
