WARSAW: Polish public broadcaster TVP is moving into production with a family series,  Just My Luck. The show is based on an original Polish script and will replace family.pl, a Canadian licensed series produced by TVP.

The lead characters of Joanna and Jerzy will be played by film and theater actors Kinga Preis and Jacek Braciak. They will be raising three children: Joanna's daughter from her first marriage, Jerzy's son from his previous relationship and their joint daughter Zosia. Antoni Królikowski to play the son and the producers are currently holding castings for the parts of two young girls. The cast of the show will also include several popular Polish actors including Gabriela Muskała, Przemysław Sadowski, Anna Seniuk, Zdzisław Wardejn and Ewa Kasprzyk.
