DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, January 2025) Heweliusz is a gripping five-episode disaster drama series inspired by Poland’s most mysterious maritime tragedy, where the ferry “Jan Hevelius” sank during a fierce storm on January 14, 1993, claiming 55 lives with only 9 survivors. Made by Jan Holoubek, Kasper Bajon, and Anna Kępińska — creators of the acclaimed High Water — the series not only recounts the harrowing events of the disaster but delves into themes of grief, loss, and the struggle for justice against a dysfunctional system. With its spectacular production value and deeply emotional narrative, Heweliusz promises to captivate audiences when it premieres exclusively on Netflix in autumn 2025. |
