SkyShowtime has unveiled a heart-wrenching new Polish original documentary, "Edyta Górniak," a two-parter that dives into the life of the renowned Polish singer. "This documentary offers an authentic and compelling portrayal of the singer's journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of Poland's most iconic artists," boasts the European streaming joint venture of Comcast and Paramount, with its premiere exclusively on SkyShowtime slated for 2026.
"The documentary invites viewers into the world of an extraordinary artist – a woman whose life combines a spectacular global music career with the everyday realities of being a woman and a mother," the streamer announced on Thursday. "Her story reveals the striking contrasts between these two realms, offering a deeper understanding of the fascinating personality behind the girl who rose from her hometown in Ziębice to gracing the world's music stages."
SkyShowtime further describes the doc as "a personal story of feminine strength, courage, forgiveness, love, and the power of hope." It will feature archival material and new, personal perspectives.
"Since launch, SkyShowtime has consistently aimed to deliver extraordinary stories," said chief content officer Kai Finke. "After premiering our very first Polish original documentary series 'Krychowiak: One Step From the Top' earlier this year, our latest production 'Edyta Górniak' shows our continued commitment to telling exceptional true stories. This documentary presents an unprecedented inside look at one of the most important artists in the Polish music and entertainment scene – Edyta Górniak. We are proud to showcase her remarkable journey and career, taking viewers behind the scenes of both her professional and personal life."
Produced by Constantin Entertainment Polska and producer Michał Brożonowicz, Agata Chwaszczewska serves as executive producer. The director is Aleksandra Machnik.
Górniak began her career as a musical theater performer, and at the age of 19, made her debut on Broadway in New York. Her role as Poland's first-ever Eurovision Song Contest participant in 1994, coming in second with "To nie ja," which still marks the country's best result at the competition, marked the beginning of her illustrious career in Poland and beyond.
