The Eastern Gate, featuring a superbly constructed score by Stefan Wesolowski, has been picked up for a second season on Max! The Polish espionage thriller, described by The New York Times as a “lean and mean spy drama”, has resonated strongly with international audiences (second only to White Lotus in European viewership) and in the U.S., where it ranks as one of Max’s most-watched non-English language series.
Directed by Jan P. Matuszyński, the series follows Ewa Oginiec (Lena Góra), a disillusioned Polish spy who is drawn back into the world of covert operations after her partner is exposed by Russian intelligence and disappears under mysterious circumstances.
