Servant of the People (Polish: Sługa narodu) is a Polish-languagepolitical satirecomedy-drama television series created by Okil Khamidov, and directed by Khamidov and Maciej Bieliński. The series follows Ignacy Konieczny, portrayed by Marcin Hycnar, who becomes the president of Poland. It was based on a 2015 Ukraine-made 2015 television series titled Servant of the People, created by Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The series premiered on Polsat television station and Polsat Box Go streaming service on 4 March 2023, and as of July 2023 has one season of 24 episodes, and a second season in production.
Ignacy Konieczny (Marcin Hycnar), a 36-year-old teacher, while talking with his colleague, makes a passionate speech about the current political situation in Poland. The speech gets recorded by a bystander, and uploaded to the Internet, where it becomes viral. Konieczny becomes famous across the country and is seen as a hero of the people. Soon, he is elected the president of Poland. After being elected, he refused the presidential privileges, determined to lead a simplistic life, which leads to comical situations.[1][2]
The television series was based on Servant of the People, a Ukraine-made 2015 television series, with a similar premise of a high school teacher becoming the president of Ukraine, created and produced by Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The rights to make a Poland-focused remake were bought by Okil Khamidov, however no studio in Poland was originally interested in picking it up. Zelenskyy became the president of Ukraine in 2019. In 2022, in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Zelenskyy's wartime leadership, the show's popularity received a notable boost internationally. Considering that, the Polish remake was picked up by Polsat.[3]
The Polish-language remake was created by Okil Khamidov, and directed by Khamidov and Maciej Bieliński. The series was ordered by Polsat, and made by Polot Media, between 2022 and 2023.

Its first season has 24 episodes, each lasting 24 minutes.[1][2] It was watched by 587 000 viewers.[4] The first episode of the series was sent by Okil Khamidov to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who reportedly liked it, and was glad that the series was finally made, after years of attempts.[5]
