Skóry: Netflix is filming a thriller about the Łódź ambulance scandal.

In Skóry, which Netflix is presenting internationally under the title Stiffs, a man gets out of prison and finds a job with the Łódź ambulance service. Through the eyes of this fictional character, a former wrestler called Bundzior, the series revisits a case that rocked Poland in the early 2000s. Netflix announced on November 6 that filming was underway and that the series would arrive in 2028.

In 2002, an investigation by Gazeta Wyborcza and Radio Łódź revealed that emergency services staff were selling information about patients’ deaths to funeral homes. Further investigations then uncovered deaths caused by certain members of staff. Tomasz Patora, one of the journalists behind the revelations, advised the team while they were writing the scripts.

The drama focuses on Bundzior’s choice. After joining the service, he discovers that he can profit from the system or risk exposing it. Jan Holoubek and Kasper Bajon, who previously worked together on High Water, are directing all six episodes. Filming on this Fremantle Polska production is scheduled to continue until April 2027, including in Łódź, Warsaw and Silesia.
