The upcoming season will comprise six episodes, continuing the narrative from previous seasons. Producers promise that the new installments will retain the show's distinctive tone, characterized by a unique combination of humor, warmth, and astute social commentary. The script, originally penned by Andrzej Grembowicz (under the pseudonym Robert Brutter) and co-written by his son Marcin Grembowicz, is said to have gained even greater relevance over time.

Director Wojciech Adamczyk noted that Grembowicz's script, written in 2015, resonates powerfully today. He believes the text "sounds even stronger and more accurate after years than at the time of its creation." The new season aims to depict Wilkowyje as it is in 2026, while crucially preserving the spirit that has endeared the series to its audience. Adamczyk also highlighted the rarity of such a long-standing team reuniting for a continuation.
