Fresh Netflix Drama from Poland
We've just seen the official teaser for The Law of Beasts, a four-episode Polish drama directed by Kasper Bajon. The series follows two women whose friendship fractures under pressure from a high-stakes murder case that resurfaces after 25 years. It draws inspiration from the real events that led to Poland's "Beasts Act" legislation, though the central characters remain fictional.
The Plot in Brief
In 1988, police major Anna Bersz investigates the murders of four boys while her psychiatrist friend Agnieszka Grabska assesses the suspect's mental state. Twenty-five years later the convicted man is due for release, forcing both women to confront the consequences of decisions made under intense pressure. The story examines how institutions balance justice, safety and the rule of law.
Who's Starring
Agnieszka Grochowska plays Anna Bersz and Agnieszka Żulewska plays Agnieszka Grabska. Michał Pawlik takes the role of the convicted murderer Mariusz Trynkiewicz. All four episodes run roughly 45 minutes each and land worldwide on Netflix on 18 November 2026.
