It was based on a 2015 Ukraine-made television series titled Servant of the People, created by Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Ignacy Konieczny (Marcin Hycnar), a 36-year-old teacher, while talking with his colleague, makes a passionate speech about the current political situation in Poland.
The rights to make a Poland-focused remake were bought by Okil Khamidov, however no studio in Poland was originally interested in picking it up.
In 2022, in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Zelenskyy's wartime leadership, the show's popularity received a notable boost internationally.
The main cast included: Marcin Hycnar, Krzysztof Dracz, Danuta Stenka, Dorota Kolak, Sławomir Orzechowski, Magdalena Popławska, and Hanna Konarowska.
