# Ranczo series revival and casting updates > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/polish-tv-series-rancuzo-revival > Updated: 2026-07-30T22:23:13.000Z. Sources: 37. Developments: 18. Production of the Polish sitcom Ranczo has resumed after a ten‑year hiatus with a six‑episode eleventh season, Ranczo: Zemsta wiedźm, slated for an autumn 2026 broadcast on TVP. Filming that began on 9 June 2026, including a shoot in Jerusalem, wrapped on 20 August, with post‑production targeting a late‑autumn release. Creator‑director Wojciech Adamczyk returns to helm the revival, and a large portion of the classic cast—including Cezary Żak, Ilona Ostrowska, Artur Barciś, Jacek Kawalec, Violetta Arlak, Piotr Ligienza and Magdalena Kuta—are confirmed to reprise their roles. New faces joining the lineup are Daniel Olbrychski, Andrzej Seweryn, Dorota Stalińska, Katarzyna Maciąg, the Chapko sisters and Michał Królikowski, son of actor Rafał Królikowski, who will play a State Protection Service officer assigned to the fictional president. In late July, Daniel Olbrychski announced he will appear as the Australian cousin of the Japycz family, describing the part as a moving experience and a dream come true, further expanding the series' new‑character roster. Social‑media posts by Cezary Żak, Piotr Ligienza and actress Marta Chodorowska have shared behind‑the‑scenes footage, sparking fan excitement. Producer Dorota Hawliczek noted scheduling conflicts and the six‑episode format limited some former cast members’ participation, emphasizing the challenge of balancing a large ensemble within a concise script. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-30: Daniel Olbrychski joins Ranczo revival as Australian cousin; Netflix adds new Polish series and Nolan film Daniel Olbrychski joins the revived Polish series Ranczo as an Australian cousin, while Netflix's August slate adds the third season of 1670, horror series Oszukać przeznaczenie, and Nolan's film Prestige. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/daniel-olbrychski-joins-ranczo-revival-as-australian-cousin-netflix-adds-new-polish-series-and-nolan ### 2026-07-25: Polish TV series ‘Ranczo’ returns with new season after ten‑year hiatus Polish sitcom “Ranczo” returns after ten years with a six‑episode season “Zemsta wiedźm”, original director Wojciech Adamczyk and most of the classic cast back, plus new actors. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polish-tv-series-ranczo-returns-with-new-season-after-tenyear-hiatus ### 2026-07-23: Ranczo returns with new season, adds Michał Królikowski to cast Ranczo returns after ten years with a six‑episode season, bringing back many original actors, adding newcomer Michał Królikowski as a state‑security officer, while some former cast members are omitted due to s‑ 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ranczo-series-returns-without-actress-elbieta-romanowska ### 2026-07-21: Polish series 'Ranczo' returns with new 11th season and revamped cast Poland's beloved series 'Ranczo' returns after ten years with a six‑episode 11th season, featuring returning stars, new cast members, and a dramatically altered look for actress Magdalena Kuta as Lodzia. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polish-series-ranczo-returns-with-new-11th-season-and-revamped-cast ### 2026-07-16: Polish TV series 'Ranczo' and 'Klara' set for new seasons in 2026 Polish series ‘Ranczo’ and ‘Klara’ both announced for new seasons in autumn 2026, with Popiel open to a cameo and TVN Warner Bros.
