The incredibly popular and popular series does not need a trailer, half of the population is waiting for the release date of the "Matchmakers 7" series in Russia, the actors know everything, and let the plot remain a mystery. Andrei Yakovlev is accustomed to directing. It's just that more than 8 years have passed since the release of the 6th season, everything has dragged on and got confused in the near-serial life, but let's try to figure it out.
Expectations rating - 93%.
Plot
The plot of "Matchmakers" is always an unpredictable action. A million small emotional and satirical stories from the life of two families (Budko and Kovalev) and their entourage: neighbors, friends and work colleagues.
Production
Directed by Andrey Yakovlev ("Papik", "Relatives", "Matchmakers"), Mikhail Savin ("You all piss me off").
Production team:
- Screenplay: Mikhail Savin ("Deputies", "8 Best Dates", "Servant of the People", "8 New Dates", "Love in the Big City");
- Operator: Yuri Ognev (debut);
- Artists: Vadim Shafransky ("The Road to Mother", "Daughter", "Stepfather"), Alena Gres ("Our Seals", "Papik", "Brahma", "Prisoners").
The production of Season 7 proved to be the most difficult. Although the beginning was laid almost immediately after the end of the 6th in 2012, there were always some problems in the way that forced to stop filming. Chief among such obstacles is the geopolitical situation between the once friendly neighbors - Russia and Ukraine.
Why season 7 "Matchmakers" could not come out
For a long 8 years, there was also a ban on entry to Ukraine for Fedor Dobronravov (the main role is Ivan Budko), the actors refused to participate in the project, the series was banned on TV, the script was changed and rewritten, and several ready-made episodes were re-shot at once. It seemed everything that would have drawn more than one season of some dramatic thriller.
During this period of time, many changes have occurred:
- One of the main characters, Lyudmila Artemyeva, moved abroad.
- Anna Koshmal, who played the teenager Zhenya, is already preparing to become a mother herself.
- And the most important, sad news: Nikolai Dobrynin (Mityai) left the project at the end of 2019 (the person got tired of the role of a sloppy alcoholic, who is constantly bullied by all the characters on the series).
And so, when in the spring of 2019 the administrative court of Kiev gave the go-ahead for the return of the series to the screens, and the actor Dobronravov was allowed to enter Ukraine, the final confidence appeared that the product would be ready.
The question is: when will the series "Matchmakers" (season 7) come out or is this again a trick and there is no official information? Answer: only the God of cinema knows everything for sure. In the meantime, we focus on the official representatives of the serial life (actors, directors, producers). Maybe this prolonged pause will give you even more pleasure from watching your favorite TV series.
