Mediaset Distribution’s hit scripted format Il Mammo finds new life in Poland

Mediaset Distribution proudly announces the successful sale of its beloved scripted format Il Mammo (translated as Mr. Mom) to Poland, where the production company Brand Trust Partners has already completed filming two episodes of the local adaptation, titled Pan Mama.

Produced by Telewizja Polska, with Brand Trust Partners as the executive producer, Pan Mama brings a fresh and culturally resonant take on the Italian original, which has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

Originally produced in Italy by RTI S.p.A., Il Mammo is a heartwarming and humorous series that follows the story of Silvano, a stay-at-home widower navigating the challenges of managing the household and raising his three children alone. The show combines touching family dynamics, thanks to its relatable humour and the authenticity of Silvano’s struggles, from dealing with teenage angst to managing daily chaos in the kitchen.

With a perfect balance of laughs and heartfelt moments, Il Mammo has become a standout title in Mediaset’s catalog of scripted formats.

In the Polish adaptation, the central role of Sylwester, the devoted and occasionally overwhelmed stay-at-home dad, is portrayed by Paweł Domagała (Gotowi na wszystko. Exterminator, Dzień dobry, kocham cię!, 80 milionów). His children are played by Ania Stolarska, Olga Wypych, and Mirosław Tamchuk, whose performances add youthful charm and emotional depth to the series.

Other key roles include Karolina Bacia, Piotr Głowacki, and Mirosław Zbrojewicz, with guest star actor Grażyna Szapołowska and perfect recognizable journalist in Poland - Beata Tadla contributing to a stellar cast that brings the vibrant family dynamic to life.

The Polish adaptation boasts a talented creative team:

Director: Jan Foryś
Cinematographer: Mikołaj Łebkowski
Set Designer: Paweł Dąbrowski
Screenwriters: Kuba Wecsile, Filip Kasperaszek, and Mariusz Pitura

The production stays true to the heartwarming and comedic essence of the original Il Mammo, while adapting it to reflect Polish culture and the reality of 20-ties of 21 century.

The sale of Il Mammo to Poland underscores the universal appeal of this family-centered comedy, which resonates with audiences for its humor, relatability, and heartfelt storytelling. The series' success is a testament to its ability to cross cultural boundaries and connect with viewers around the world.

Mediaset Distribution looks forward to the premiere of Pan Mama and celebrating the continued global journey of Il Mammo.
