The director of “Matchmakers” told whether to wait for the continuation of the series

Devoted fans are concerned, Where's Matchmakers? And when he's back on TV. Unfortunately, I have some bad news.



The once popular project is not just put on pause. It won't be filmed again. But what was the final point that led to this decision? I explain everything in detail later in the article.

The premiere of the favorite series of millions took place in 2008. Over the past 14 years, many viewers managed to forget that “Matchmakers” is a Ukrainian product of the studio “Kvartal 95”. And someone didn't know that at all. However, this is not surprising, because both Ukrainian and Russian actors took part in the filming.

Ukrainian actress Anna Koshmal was the first to announce her departure from the project. She categorically refused to star in the continuation of the series, although it was he who at one time brought the girl the desired popularity.

The war in Ukraine forever quarreled the actors who played in the series. On the set, they skillfully portrayed the fortress of family ties. One way or another, colleagues in the workshop have become closer during the creation of the project. However, the civil position of each of them was more unfounded than any movie quotes.



So, Anna Koshmal left the project and forever added to her personal blacklist Fedor Dobronravov and Tatiana Kravchenko. The screen spouses support the Russian authorities and vehemently express their anti-Ukrainian position. The actress is a native of Donetsk.

It is obvious that such confusion in acting circles forever puts an end to the television project “Matchmakers”. There were rumors that the 8th season will be filmed. But the news appeared online that Fedor Dobronravov also decided to leave the project.

According to the official version, he was just tired of filming, because behind the whole 7 seasons of the series. However, it is obvious that this is not a matter of fatigue. The series “Matchmakers” was wildly popular among viewers. And the actors who starred in it received decent money for their work.



But to shoot a family comedy series with the participation of Russian actors, when exactly the same Russians are engaged in the destruction of Ukrainian lands, infrastructure and, most importantly, people, is simply impossible.

Fedor Dobronravov has long been able to show whose side he is on. Back in 2014, he supported the annexation of Crimea, and in June this year visited Russian soldiers in hospitals. The actor openly advocates a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Is it necessary to shoot the continuation of the series “Matchmakers” The continuation of the series “Matchmakers” is as impossible as other projects in which Ukrainians and Russians will take part. It is obvious that the war, if not forever, put an end to the relations between these two peoples for many decades.

Let’s be clear: the series “Matchmakers” was the most profitable commercial project. And its creators did their best to pump as much money out of it as possible. This is evidenced not only by the endless stream of new seasons, but also by the shooting of the musical, spin-off series, animated series and television programs based on “Matchmakers”.

In my opinion, this is enough to forget about this product forever and not to entertain myself with hopes that the Matchmakers will ever return. That won't happen.
