A multi-part film is made in the genre of drama with comedy elements. The release of the series is planned on the channel "Russia 1" in autumn 2017.

McMafia
The eight-part McMafia is unusual in mainstream television-making in having a cast of international actors in major roles, often speaking in their own languages. Many are famous in their own countries, but little-known to English-speaking audiences. With the exception of American actor David Strathairn, who plays a shadowy Israeli mogul, Russians (and one Georgian) play Russians, Israelis play Israelis, Indians play Indians and the British play the British.
Because the story takes place across multiple countries and nationalities, it was important, Watkins said, to have a cast that was "ethnically right." The roster of sterling actors includes Merab Ninidze (who plays Kalygin, an ex-KGB officer-turnedmafioso), Maria Shukshina, Serebryakov, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Kirill Pirogov and Cohen.
"I had never seen or read a script that was fully international in that way," said Norton, who is well known in the U.K. for playing a psychopathic killer in Happy Valley and a crimesolving vicar in Grantchester. (His in- ternational recognition may soon be increasing, as the British news media have excitedly pegged him as a favourite to be the next James Bond.)
One of the best aspects of working on the series, he said, was the interaction with actors from all over the world. "They all brought their own craft and energies," he said. "It made me realize that English actors are a little bit bashful, we mark a bit in rehearsal, hold back. The Russians are zero to 60 from the first moment, and the Israelis — we are so polite in the U.K. — they are just like, no, this script isn’t right. It was pretty exciting."
Season two of McMafia is officially going ahead after the BBC announced it had recommissioned the thriller for another run.
McMafia creators Hossein Amini and James Watkins said: "We are so thrilled with how McMafia has resonated with audiences across the world and are delighted to be given the opportunity to cast more light on the shady intersections of transnational criminals and their enablers in finance, law, intelligence agencies and even in governments."

There is always a pair of “secret components” that make the show outstanding, and we know how to make them work”.
