Imagine this – Mihajlo Pupin, one of Serbia’s greatest scientists, finally getting his own TV series! Yes, you read that right! Director Danilo Bećković and his team are filming a ten-episode series that will take us through the childhood and life of this genius, from Idvor to the Paris Peace Conference. And it’s not just any story – it will include conflicts with Nikola Tesla, love, scientific achievements, and deep patriotism.
Why does this matter? Because Pupin is not just a scientist, he’s a symbol of Serbian spirit and perseverance. Bećković said it was tough to decide what to include because Pupin’s life was rich and full of challenges. The cast is impressive, with Dragan Mićanović playing Pupin and Raša Bukvić as Tesla.
But wait, there’s more! The series will air on RTS next year, and filming is in full swing in Belgrade and Vojvodina. This is a chance for those who don’t know much about Pupin to finally learn about the man who made it possible for us to talk on the phone across oceans!
And yes, not everything is perfect – Branka Katić couldn’t take the role of Pupin’s mother due to other commitments, but they found a great replacement in Dubravka Kovjanić.
This series isn’t just for history buffs; it’s for anyone who loves a good story about struggle, science, and homeland. If you thought biographical series were boring, get ready to be surprised!
Now, while we wait for the premiere, can you imagine what the scenes between Pupin and Tesla will be like? Will they clash or reconcile? Drop your theories in the comments – maybe you’ll guess what’s coming next!
