It’s official! On August 30, NTV will air the long-anticipated S6 of the hugely successful crimedy series ‘Shepherd’. The show has been a smashing hit during all 5 seasons, with viewing share reaching 20.5% and TVR 5.5. The YouTube following is even more impressive — it has over 330 million views and IMDB rating of 8.6. The project has been named the most popular series in Russia for several years, according to VTsIOM (Russian Public Opinion Research Center).
The story of a former police detective and his dog who investigate crimes as an independent team has proven to be super popular among all audiences. The combination of situational humor, mystery and suspension entangled with characters’ personal problems is relatable, fun to watch, and highly entertaining. A classic police procedural that proved timeless and relevant, works perfectly internationally as well because it is original, unpredictable, and very funny and its humor translates easily into any culture.
In the new episodes, Max Maksimov (Nikita Panfilov) and hisfour-legged partner will have to find out what caused the fortuneteller’s death, what the butterflies have to do with the mysterious murder, how and why highly trained private security could not stop their boss’ killer and what why an art conservator died after touching fresh paint on the canvas under restoration. Meanwhile, Shepherd, the dog, will begin to show miracles of telepathy, Lena, the unacquitted Max’s love, will master her intuition, and the ubiquitous Gnezdilov, a comic antagonist, will start having dreams in which the dog will give him hints on solving the next case.
«In my opinion, ‘Shepherd’ is like good wine — it only gets better over the years. Last season turned out to be one of the most exciting: with large scale fights, chases, stunts and cars falling from the roofs. I think this season is bound to be one of the best.» — says Nikita Panfilov, who plays the main character.
