"This is certainly an important event, not only for us who created 'Shadows' but also for the Serbian cinema and television, because it's the first time that a Serbian series will be available to the global audience. The negotiations lasted almost two years and we managed to have such an important platform, that is catching up with Netflix, include it among its offer. This way, in addition to viewers in the Balkans and in Russia, 'Shadows' will be available to the whole world. We expect the second season to be available soon," said the series' director and creator Dragan Bjelogrlic.

"Shadows over Balkans" is a drama thriller set in a tumultuous period of the late 1920s, where high politics, local interests, capital and crime intersect.

In addition to Bjelogrlic who plays the leading role the cast includes Andrija Kuzmanovic, Gordan Kicic, Zarko Lausevic, Marija Bergam, but also an international  cast made up of famous Russian actors Aleksandr Galibin and Andrei Zibrov, as well as Goran Bogdan, Bojan Navojec, Toni Mihajlovski and Petar Arsovski, who are well known to the local audience.

The screenplay for this series, based on a film story by Stevan Koprivica, was written by Dejan Stoiljkovic, Vladimir Kecmanovic and Dragan Bjelogrlic, while Magnifico produced the musical score.
