Maria Dąbrowska’s novel Nights & Days is being adapted into a Netflix series by Greenlight Films, with Kamila Tarabura on board as director.
The period drama is billed as a love letter to Poland. “Our interpretation of Maria Dąbrowska’s masterpiece is an honest and emotional reflection on the myth of romantic love and the eternal battle between expectations and reality,” Tarabura said. “It is also a story about building a long-term relationship, about the fact that a relationship is work that can bear fruit throughout life. Barbara faces many universal dilemmas concerning sacrifice for marriage and family, giving up her own dreams, and the search for happiness,” the director adds.
Łukasz Kłuskiewicz, Netflix’s program director for CEE, noted, “Polish culture is a treasury of stories that have captivated us for generations. The story shown in Nights & Days is no different—it still charms us, becoming a timeless reflection on ordinary human dilemmas. That is why, at Netflix, we want to tell it anew to viewers, including future generations, through the talent and contemporary sensitivity of the young creators who are working on this production. Following the enthusiastic reception of Forgotten Love and the huge interest in our upcoming series based on Prus’s The Doll, this is another Netflix production in which we bring an epic work of Polish culture to the screen, showing that these are stories that can still be rediscovered.”
The series will be produced by Justyna Pawlak (recently responsible for the production of the multi-award-winning Netflix original series Infamy). The script was written by Marta Bacewicz, Katarzyna Tybinka, and Kamila Tarabura.
