WBD commissions original espionage thriller The Easterngate for Max in Poland

The Easterngate delves into the world of modern espionage

Warner Bros Discovery has commissioned an original thriller series for streamer Max in Poland called The Easterngate.

The Easterngate, which began production in March, delves into the world of modern espionage during an emerging conflict and international unrest in the spring of 2021.

The plot follows a Polish woman who, after a personal drama, aims to exit the secret service and start over. Things take a turn when her partner, also an agent, is outed by Russian intelligence and vanishes mysteriously.

The title The Easterngate refers to the Suwałki Gap, a critical spot along the border between Poland and Lithuania, both NATO member states, as well as Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad Oblast. The Suwałki Gap is widely recognised as one of Europe’s top three hotspots, a critical territory for protecting NATO’s eastern flank and maintaining regional stability.

Jan P Matuszyński is directing the series, which is one of Max’s first originals in Poland.
