The Mire Millennium dropped its trailer, with minimal details released, further building the hype among fans. The 2018 Polish series featured two seasons previously, The Mire and The Mire ‘97, following returning characters and protagonists but different plotlines. The series is a nitty gritty Polish cop drama that features limited episodes but picturesque bleak and chilling scenes, along with lots of drama packed in them.
The trailer opens with an injured but still-badass Officer Anna Jass (Magdalena Rozczka) trying to recount her memories while never letting go of her snarkiness. Old habits die hard. The town is now gripped with a missing, possibly dead Wanda, daughter of Piotr Warzycki (Dawid Ogrodnik), last-seen as the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper Kurier. Then comes the question of her potential boyfriend, about whom Piotr was unaware of.
The trailer rightfully echoes the sentiments that all roads lead to the veteran and now-retired journalist Witold Wanycz (Andrzej Seweryn). But the past comes back to feed on the fruits of the present, while the current monsters are nourished by their past criminal deeds. Secrets are unravelled, bodies are recovered, as Witold, Anna and Piotr embark on their respective quests to bring peace to the troubled, corrupt town teeming with long timers and suspicious residents.
As the third and final season, the show is expected to wrap up the plotlines of several characters living and growing old over the span of years and decades, along with the main plot of the corrupt Southwestern town near Gronty forest. The forest and its marshy depths (thus the show’s title) hides dark secrets and deeper graves.
The Mire Millennium is set to release its episodes on Netflix February 28 onward. It will see Piotr Fronczewski, Michal Pawlik, Magdalena Rozczka, Lukasz Simlat, Janusz Gajos, Tomasz Schuchardt, among others, along with protagonists Andrzej Seweryn and Dawid Ogrodnik.
