Natalie Golovchenko joins cast of crime series Polabí

Actress Natalie Golovchenko joins the cast of the crime series ‘Polabí’ playing the role of Major Emma Drábová, a GIBS investigator. The character is depicted as an uncompromising, highly precise analyst who lacks social empathy due to Asperger syndrome.

Drábová is tasked with investigating a multi-year murder case in Polabí after a human skeleton is discovered in a garden. Her clinical approach to facts and inability to navigate emotional nuances create tension with her colleagues and the local community. Golovchenko noted that the character's sense of being different resonates with her own upbringing of growing up with Ukrainian roots in the Czech Republic.
