"Krychowiak: One Step from the Top"
SkyShowtime announced the premiere date and revealed the key art for its first Polish original documentary commission, the four-part series “Krychowiak: One Step from the Top.” Produced by Papaya Films ("Lewandowski: Unknown", "Kuba", "SZCZĘSNY"), the series is directed by Jan Dybus (Kuba), with Kacper Sawicki serving as creative producer. Launching exclusively across all 20+ SkyShowtime markets on 27 November, the SkyShowtime Original offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the life of former Polish national football player Grzegorz Krychowiak, who officially announced his retirement from professional sport.
In recent months, Krychowiak has embarked on an insightful journey through various stages of his personal and professional life—a journey closely followed by cameras at almost every turn. Throughout the series, he reflects on both his past and future with honesty, humour, and the added perspective gained after taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Everest.
In “Krychowiak: One Step from the Top,” Grzegorz Krychowiak takes viewers on a deeply personal journey through different stages of his life and career. As football gradually takes a back seat, he begins to pursue new dreams—supported by his loved ones every step of the way. Across four episodes, he brings humour, honesty, and his own unique perspective, grounded in the belief that happiness is more than just the sum of life’s highs and lows.
“Krychowiak: One Step from the Top” is the first documentary production and the latest original series created in Poland for SkyShowtime. On 16 October, the crime series “The Cop. A New Chapter” (Glina. Nowy rozdział) premiered on the service, further expanding its line-up of Polish originals, which also includes the drama “Warszawianka,” the crime series “Śleboda,” and the thriller “Langer,” based on the novel by Remigiusz Mróz.
