On November 1, the Kyivstar TV platform will host the exclusive online premiere of the Ukrainian comedic series "Kotlyarevsky." The streaming release will begin 24 hours before the television broadcast, allowing viewers to be the first to experience the project. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the Kyivstar TV platform.
The Story of the Restaurant Team and National Cuisine
The series plot revolves around a restaurant team striving to revive Ukrainian culinary traditions and experiment with ancient recipes. Alongside their gastronomic pursuits, the characters navigate their own ambitions, feelings, and workplace conflicts. The action takes place at the "Kotlyarevsky" restaurant, where the team reinvents Ukrainian cuisine and recreates dishes inspired, in particular, by recipes from "Aeneid" — neatly tying into the establishment's name.
Main Characters and Cast
The central figures of the series are three characters with very different personalities. Firebrand chef Yuriy Borshchevsky (Volodymyr Rashchuk) aims to embody his personal vision of Ukrainian gastronomy. Restaurant owner Elvira Konstantynivna (Daria Petrozhytska) tries to regain control over her life after being betrayed by a man. Innovator Kvytoslava Levytska (Iryna Kudashova), who mastered culinary arts thanks to her grandmother, arrives at the restaurant with her own principles and a habit of speaking the truth. The clash of their personalities, ambitions, and decisions becomes a source of comical situations, unexpected twists, and romantic storylines.

The service is available on SMART TV, smartphones, SMART TV set-top boxes, Xbox, tablets, and via a web browser version.
