    WARSAW: Warsaw Arrangement (Układ Warszawski ), a crime comedy series about a Warsaw family with members on both sides of the law directed by Katarzyna Adamik and Łukasz Jaworski, is shooting in Warsaw. The series is planned for 15 episodes and is fully produced by Polish private broadcaster TVN (www.tvn.pl).

    The main character, a young police analyst, dreams of becoming a detective. When he gets a chance to prove himself he discovers that his uncle is the most famous thief in Europe.

    The series is produced by Artur Kowalewski, with Marzena Bober as the production manager. The shoot started in 9 March 2011 and is expected to last through April.

    The series is based on a Polish original script and directed by Katarzyna Adamik and Łukasz Jaworski. Adamik, known mainly as a feature filmmaker and storyboard artist, had a major success in directing TVN's series Marked, a production recently sold by TVN to Denmark. Łukasz Jaworski, an experienced television filmmaker, directed TVN's recent hit shows 39 and Half and Usta Usta, a Polish version of the British Cold Feet format.

    The lead role is played by Lesław Żurek with renowned Polish actor Jan Englert starring as his criminal uncle. The cast includes several popular Polish film and theater actors including Olga Bołądź, Katarzyna Gniewkowska, Katarzyna Herman, Adam Ferency, Bartek Topa, Alan Andersz and Grażyna Szapołowska.

    TVN plans to air the series in the fall of 2011.
