Ukrainian actress Zoryana Marchenko shared details about working on the fourth season of the popular medical drama "The Female Doctor. New Life," filming with co-star Andriy Isaenko, and aspects of her personal life. The production of the new episodes is handled by STB and FILM.UA Group, with the premiere scheduled for 2027.
Defending Her Character and Acting Approach
According to Zoryana Marchenko, she fully justifies her character's actions and is ready to act as her advocate in any situation. The actress notes that she understands the heroine's motivation, but the audience will have to draw their own conclusions and evaluate her behavior. In the new season, the creators promise numerous twists that may either spark condemnation or find support among viewers.
Reflecting on genre preferences, Marchenko admitted that after projects with dramatic fates, she would not want to immediately switch to comedies. She is much more attracted to thrillers, detectives, noir plots, mysteries, and crime investigations that require deep immersion into the role.
Atmosphere on Set and Working Moments
Joint filming with Andriy Isaenko, who plays obstetrician-gynecologist Mykhailo Honchar, is often accompanied by fun moments. The actress confesses that she finds it difficult to maintain seriousness in the frame next to this partner, as a light and casual atmosphere develops on set.
Aside from working days, Marchenko pays attention to raising her ten-year-old daughter, with whom they are gradually starting to navigate the period of growing up and adolescence, discussing personal boundaries and communication rules. The actress herself values sincerity and simplicity in people, reacting negatively to excessive pretentiousness and lack of manners.
Major Changes in the Fourth Season
STB and FILM.UA Group have already started production on the fourth season of the medical saga, which will air on STB for the first time. Key characters will return to the plot, and new storylines and heroes will be introduced. Thus, a woman from Mykhailo Honchar's past, Maryna Yavorska, will appear at the medical center as the new head of the department.
Military surgeon Oles Zaharchuk will compete with the main character in both professional and personal spheres. In addition, Oleh Melnyk will continue to pursue his own interests, creating additional difficulties for the new management and the entire medical center. Viewers are in for an intense season combining medical cases, complex love triangles, and a struggle for power.
Significance of the Project and Audience Expectations
The launch of the fourth season of "The Female Doctor" marks a new stage for the franchise as it moves to the STB platform. The participation of a stellar cast, including Andriy Isaenko, Zoryana Marchenko, Andriy Fedynchyk, and other actors, guarantees a high level of drama and viewer engagement. The project continues to hold audience attention through a combination of acute social issues, medical ethics, and deep personal conflicts.
