New Polish crime television programming releases

Overview

In August 2026, several Polish media entities announced new crime-themed programming scheduled for release in the autumn.

Polsat unveiled its autumn lineup, which includes ‘Na miejscu zbrodni’ (At the Crime Scene), a new program on Polsat News hosted by investigative journalist Rafał Zalewski. The show is set to premiere on September 5 and will utilize Zalewski’s criminal reporting archives to analyze weekly criminal events. Polsat also announced the series ‘Gliniarze. Śląsk’, a crime drama set in the Upper Silesian and Zagłębie Metropolis following a police team investigating various criminal, economic, and drug-related offenses.

On the streaming platform SkyShowtime, the six-episode original series ‘Pionek’ premiered on September 10. Serving as a sequel to ‘Śleboda’, the series follows an anthropologist and a journalist investigating a murder in Upper Silesia. SkyShowtime is also developing a new 1990s-set crime series titled ‘Zwierzak’, inspired by the memoirs of Jerzy Hybiński and the book ‘Zwierzak. Spowiedź policyjnego przykrywkowca’. Directed by Adrian Panek, the production stars Piotr Witkowski, Borys Szyc, and Eryk Kulm, aiming to explore the moral complexities of organized crime infiltration.

Additionally, the animated series ‘Rojbers’, created by Dariusz Nojman using Blender, continues its depiction of 1990s Silesia. The tenth episode, titled ‘Dres, Kura i Ognicho’, focuses on characters preparing for a bonfire while exploring themes of nostalgia and local identity through authentic Silesian dialect.
