The most important thing is that the heroes will go to fight evil spirits outside Moscow for the first time. Therefore, I look forward to showing the audience this new season."
Igor Mishin, general producer of KION: "The new season of KION's hit "Sergius against Evil Spirits" will be a surprise for fans of this fantasy world and a challenge for its creators. The project team, which is firmly established in Moscow and its locations, will choose another region for the first time. For KION, it is important to present to the audience a wide range of not only film genres, but also the geographical diversity of our large country, and we are sure that the colorful mythology will fit well into the history of the project on fighting evil spirits."
Alexander Plotnikov, producer: "We decided to expand the geography of the series - the characters travel from Moscow to Kazan, which became a place of strength for our film industry last season. Kazan is a beautiful, original city with a vivid history. And then, cinema often goes to cities after literature, as, for example, it happened with Perm and the Urals, when the writer Alexey Ivanov appeared. And we went to Kazan for fairy tales and myths. Very colorful and interesting national Tatar folklore and heroes of legends - the spirit of the forest (Shurale), the water girl, the spirits of houses and barns, evil creatures. But this does not mean that we have exhausted the full potential of Russian folk tales and epic characters. There will be surprises from them too."
