Success, HBO Europe’s first series from Croatia, debuted on HBO NOW®, HBO GO®, HBO On Demand and partners’ streaming platforms on June 5. Directed by Academy Award® winning filmmaker Danis Tanović (No Man’s Land), the six-part drama offers a dark insight into the workings of contemporary society through the stories of regular people who have been pushed over the edge by that same community.

Success is centered on four people: Vinka (Iva Mihalić) – a middle-class bank clerk, Haris (Uliks Fehmiu) – a successful architect, Blanka (Tara Thaller) – a troubled teenage girl, and Kiki (Toni Gojanović) – about to lose his apartment because he is unemployed. These complete strangers cross paths when they stumble upon the aftermath of a violent incident, forcing them to work together to resolve the matter or deal with the consequences – all while trying to overcome their personal struggles.

Created and written by Marjan Alčevski, the series was selected as one of the winning projects of HBO Adria’s First Draft screenwriting contest. The story explores feelings of frustration, helplessness and passivity through the prism of love, work, family, loyalty, insecurity and crime.
