When in 2008 the first two episodes of the unpretentious home comedy "Matchmakers" appeared on television screens, no one could have thought that this was the beginning of the longest and most popular movie marathon that had ever been shot in Ukraine. The heroes of this story were so fond of Ukrainian viewers, as well as viewers of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Estonia, that after the end of the last 6th season in 2013, a stream of questions from concerned viewers fell upon all participants in the filming process. They are interested in whether there will be “Matchmakers”, season 7.
What do the filmmakers say about this?
Obviously, in the format in which the series existed earlier, viewers will no longer see it. This was announced by the authors of the film bestseller immediately after the release of the final series in 2013. But still, we have a hope to meet our beloved folk heroes again. Will the “Matchmakers” (Season 7) be just as fun? Definitely!
The fact is that in parallel with the “Matchmakers” in 2012, the series “Mitya Tales” was shot where the main character was a comic unlucky character performed by Dmitry Dobrynin, who played an important role in the television project.
Now the film crew decided to continue working on the comedy, conditionally giving it the name "Mitya 2 Tales". Fans of the movie should remember that between the 4th and 5th season of “Matchmakers” there was a time gap of eight years in the fate of the heroes. That's about this time of their life and will be told in new series.
What awaits us ahead?
Viewers will be asked to find out what was happening at that time in the family of Mityai, his beloved Larisa performed by Olesya Zheleznyak and her extravagant mother, played by Tatyana Vasilyeva. Are the “Matchmakers” shooting season 7 now? Yes, the filming process was launched earlier this summer. This was told by the script writer of the studio "95 quarter" Yuri Mikulenko. The comedy stories of the Mityaya family will take place in Crimea, because it was there that in the 4th season he met the love of his life - the shark of the private hotel business Larisa.
And the scriptwriters promised that the families of Budko and Kovalev would also not remain behind the scenes. We have to meet again with the unpredictable elegant Olga Nikolaevna Kovaleva (actress Lyudmila Artemyeva), and the sincere Valentina Petrovna Budko (Tatyana Kravchenko), and her cheerful spouse Budko Ivan Stepanovich (Fedor Dobronravov), and, of course, with their beloved granddaughter Zhenechka. Of course, the new movie will not do without the presence of Berkovich (Alexander Feklistov).
But nothing is known about whether “Matchmakers” (season 7) will be shown with the participation of the full Kovalev family or Olga Nikolaevna alone without her husband (actor Anatoly Vasilyev refused to participate in the film after season 4).
Gift for the audience
A real gift for many fans of the comedy series was the fact that in addition to "Mitya 2 Tales" the creators of the multi-part television picture decided to make a full-length film about "Matchmakers". The producer of the film, Vladimir Zelensky, told journalists about this. However, when the full-length version of the film is released, it is not yet known. As for the question of whether the “Matchmakers” (season 7) will be released this year or not, there is also no definite answer.
The filmmakers keep the intrigue. And all true fans of the series can only hope and believe in the best deal. Do not forget that this is a Ukrainian series, and now the political situation between Russia and Ukraine has changed dramatically. Will the “Matchmakers” (season 7) come out without delay, will largely depend on external circumstances.
News about the actors of the series
Here are some news about the two main actors of the new season of the television series. Actress Olesya Zheleznyak during her participation in the filming of "Matchmakers" was able to bear and give birth to a fourth child - son Thomas. In the 4th season, she starred in the last stages of pregnancy, which created certain difficulties for the filming of the film.
In the new season of the film, Dmitry Dobrynin will appear before the audience younger and prettier. The fact is that the actor recently had a plastic surgery associated with his participation in the filming of the project about the legendary singer Leonid Utesov.
