The creative team behind “Soviet Jeans,” the breakout hit that won a pair of awards at Series Mania in 2024, are back with “The Last Divorce of Communism,” a period drama series set in Latvia in 1988. The six-part series, which is now going into production, centers on an ordinary couple who stage a fake divorce in order to circumvent the USSR’s rigid real-estate policies and save their apartment from nationalization. Under constant surveillance from informants and prying neighbors, the pair must conceal their enduring love while navigating a society on the brink of collapse, and the promise of newfound freedom.
