Gdańsk «returned» to wartime: swastikas on the streets were part of the filming of a popular series

The story of Franz Neumann is returning to Tricity. Filming of the series «Zatoka szpiegów» has begun in Gdańsk. As a result, unusual decorations can be seen on the streets of Tricity.

“Spy Bay” — one of the popular projects of TVP. The first season was released during the rule of PiS, while the second was filmed after the political changes. Actor Bartosz Gelner said in the autumn of 2024 that it has become easier to work now: it’s easier to find locations, and people are more friendly towards the film crew and react calmly to the decorations, including swastikas.

Swastyki znów pojawiły się na ulicach miasta. Wystarczy przejść się po Starym Mieście, aby poczuć atmosferę minionych dekad. W rejonie ulic Chlebnickiej i Mariackiej już pracuje ekipa filmowa, a pierwsze dekoracje zostały ustawione.

The plot of the series revolves around Franz Neumann — a young officer of the Abwehr (the German intelligence service during World War II). He secretly works for Poland and manipulates high-ranking officials of the Reich. He also has many romantic relationships

The action of the third season takes place in late summer 1941. It will feature secret weapons, dangerous missions, and new spies.

The first season was watched by over 2 million viewers. Later, the audience decreased slightly, but the series still remains one of the most popular in Poland — only behind "M jak miłość" and "Barwy szczęścia"
