ANT1 period drama Kryno kai Agathi

Overview

In July 2026, Greek broadcaster ANT1 announced the high‑budget period drama “Kryno kai Agathi”, set in Arcadia in 1959 and backed by the Ministry of Culture with an estimated €9 million budget. The story follows a young woman who marries the man she blames for her brother’s death, intertwining revenge, love and family intrigue. The cast includes Anastasia Pantousi, Giorgos Gerontidakis, Katérina Didaskálou and several actors from the hit series “Wild Bees”. Directed by Andreas Morfonios and written by Gianna Kanelopoulou, the production showcased elaborate sets and period costumes in early behind‑the‑scenes photographs.

On 4 August 2026, ANT1 released a trailer and additional backstage photos, confirming the series’ autumn debut. A further preview on 7 August detailed the plot: Pantousi’s character Λευκή marries Marco Arvanitis (played by Gerontidakis) to uncover the truth behind her brother’s unjust death. Marco, recently released after fifteen years in prison for a murder that split two families, hopes the marriage will bring redemption, while Λευκή’s hidden agenda threatens to destabilise both households. On 8 August 2026, further details clarified the backstory of Markos Arvanitis, noting that he served fifteen years in prison for a murder he did not commit, having taken the blame to protect his younger brother. On 31 August 2026, a new trailer identified Lefki’s brother as Ilia, the man Markos was accused of killing.

In early September 2026, new details identified the central conflict as a clash between the influential Arvanitakis clan, landowners and timber merchants in Platanies, and the impoverished Drogoutis family. On 9 September 2026, ANT1 confirmed the series will premiere on Wednesday, 23 September at 21:00, featuring double episodes.
