    BUCHAREST: Shadows/Umbre, the third original series produced by HBO Europe in Romania after In Treatment/In derivă and When Shall We Kiss/Rămâi cu mine is scheduled to premiere at the beginning of 2015.

    This eight-part, 45minute black comedy is directed by Igor Cobileanski and Bogdan Mirică. The script, adapted by Mirică from the Australian format Small Time Gangster (created by Boilermaker Burberry PTY Ltd), tells the story of a taxi driver who is also working as debt collector for the local mafia. After accidentally killing a man, he tries in vain to get out of the business.

    Antony Root and Wayne Henry are the executive producers from HBO Europe and Carmen Harabagiu is the executive producer from HBO România. Aurelian Nica is line producer from HBO România and DragoşVîlcu is producing through the local production company Multimedia Est.

    The series stars Şerban Pavlu (Everybody in Our Family produced by HiFilm) and the cast includes Maria Obretin, Andreea Vasile, Sergiu Costache, Ştefan Velniciuc, Dan Hurduc, Mădălina Craiu, Gabriel Huian, Doru Ana, Dorel Vişan, Gabriel Spahiu, Andi Vasluianu, Diana Cavallioti and Sorin Cociş.

    Umbre/Shadows was shot from 9 June until 30 August 2014 in approximately 60 locations in Bucharest and surroundings, representatives of HBO Romania told FNE.
