Joanna Kulig to play Britney Spears in new TV Theater production

Polish actress Joanna Kulig is set to embody pop icon Britney Spears in a new production by TV Theater titled "Britney." The play promises to be one of the most anticipated shows of the upcoming television season.

Kulig, known for her roles in films like "Cold War" and "Ida," will transform into the American music superstar for the TVP production. The play draws inspiration from Spears' recent autobiography, "The Woman in Me," with a script by Jarosław Murawski and direction by Ewelina Marciniak.

This will be one of the hottest titles of the upcoming season. Joanna Kulig returns to the screen in a completely new role. The actress will play the main character in the new TV Theater play titled "Britney."

First promotional images reveal Kulig in full character, styled to resemble Spears from the early 2000s, a period marked by her meteoric rise to fame. The production aims to delve into the life and career of the "Princess of Pop," from her teenage beginnings with the hit "...Baby One More Time" to the immense pressures of global superstardom.

"This will be one of the hottest titles of the upcoming season. Joanna Kulig returns to the screen in a completely new role," TVP Teatr Telewizji announced on social media. The play is expected to explore the dramatic aspects of Spears' life, including her public breakdown and the nearly 14-year conservatorship under her father. The premiere date for "Britney" on TVP has not yet been announced.

I had to pull myself together again and get into theatrical work. Acting in a film involves intense and quick emotions that have to be put aside after the project ends. In this dramatic structure of TV Theater, more time must be devoted to developing the role.
