Olga Kuzmina will appear in the series “Ivanov-Ivanov”

The STS channel launched the continuation of the comedy hit Ivanov-Ivanov, five seasons of which were watched by three-quarters of the country’s population. In the new episodes, the star of “Kitchen” Olga Kuzmina joined the team of the series, which viewers will see in an unexpected role.

In the continuation of the story, her heroine Anna, who manages the farm of Boris Ivanov (Stanislav Duzhnikov), only at first seems good-natured. But there is already enough intrigue in a large family. While some Ivanovs start a new life in Italy, others deal with personal problems. Lyokha (Mikhail Trukhin) and Lida (Anna Ukolova) are expecting a baby, while Nina (Svetlana Kolpakova) and Borey are just working on it. Vanya (Aleksey Lukin) hides from bandits and solves love dilemmas. And only Grandfather (Yuri Itskov) with the veterinarian Stepan (Andrey Leonov) are ready to take care of the “breadwinners” of the family – the farm pets.

The lead actors returned to their characters two years after the end of filming for the fifth season. “I’m just happy to continue the adventures of our old gang, it would seem that matured men, but remaining boys at heart, Alexander Oblasov admitted. — I noticed that thanks to the series, it became popular among children, ranging from my nephews to unfamiliar children. And in the new season there will be even more adventures, and everyone likes adventures, not just children.

According to Mikhail Trukhin, the atmosphere on the site helps to return to the image of Lyosha: “Of course, everything is already native here, so I missed both the group and my partners. And when you see familiar faces, you put on Lyokha’s suit, everything immediately grows back together. Well, in the new series he is unchanged in his constant qualities: the same rogue and whip.

In the continuation of the story, the Ivanovs will settle in a two-story mansion with a fireplace thanks to the new business status of Bori. The main place of action – a farm – was built on the territory of an equestrian sports club near Moscow. The artists decorated the chicken sheds, added a sign, and built areas for pets. The heroes will take care of chickens, peacocks, pigs and other guests of the farm in special overalls, bathrobes and vests with the Ivanov Farm logo.

“Last season we started the story of the new village world of the Ivanovs, so there will be even more nature, rural life and animals. For example, I myself especially look forward to the scene with the bull, – says director Sergei Znamensky. — This season as a whole is very difficult in terms of stunts. These are motorcycle and car chases, and pyrotechnic explosions, and falls, and fights.

In addition to stunts, the performers of the main roles expect external transformations. So, the mother of an 11-year-old son, Anna Ukolova, will again pass the test of pregnancy, but already on the set, trying on a foam belly, and her colleague Stanislav Duzhnikov will say goodbye to rural shirts and switch to business style. Strict costumes for the actor, whose height is 192 centimeters, were brought from Nizhny Novgorod and Belarus. “The task has become more complicated, since many brands have left, now is the period of holidays, so we began to contact Belarusian companies more often, where we are ready to take on non-standard sizes,” – says costume designer Gelena Martemyanova.
