Plot Synopsis

Directed, written, and shot on location in Ukraine, COSSACKS is a 12-episode sword-and-sorcery fantasy series that follows the irreverent exploits of Ivan, a young Ukrainian peasant raised by a Polish aristocrat who grows into a likable adventure-seeking rogue. His cheeky disposition enables him to rob the Tsar of Moscow of a set of precious jewels, yet it's to a noble end: he needs the royal riches to free his mother from the Ottomans, who have enslaved her. However, Ivan accidentally also makes off with a magical heirloom, an earring that had helped the Moscow Tsar defeat his enemies and leads Ivan into endless escapades. COSSACKS made its U.S. debut on Friday, September 1, 2023 on Crackle, which released all 12 episodes.
