Polish 'Lalka' film and series adaptations
Overview
In July 2026, Polish producers announced a cinematic adaptation of Bolesław Prus’s novel “Lalka,” directed by Maciej Kawalski and scheduled for a 30 September theatrical release. The film stars Marcin Dorociński, Kamila Urzędowska and sees Marek Kondrat return after a long hiatus. A related literary initiative, “Nie‑Lalka,” backed by ING Bank Śląski, will release short stories alongside the movie.
Later that month, Netflix unveiled a six‑episode series based on the same novel, directed by Paweł Maślona and set to premiere on 16 September, a few weeks before the film. The series features Sandra Drzymalska as Izabela Łęcka and Tomasz Schuchardt as Stanisław Wokulski, and is described as a modern reinterpretation that blends romance, tragicomedy and crime while preserving the novel’s social‑mobility themes.
Together, the two announcements illustrate parallel efforts to bring “Lalka” to contemporary audiences through both a feature film and a streaming series, both slated for release in September 2026.
