The premiere of the reunion will take place in October 2023, exactly ten years after the first parts of the project were shown. The cast will reunite to talk about the onscreen “Bears” crew, their first steps on the ice, on-screen kisses, and meeting with fans.
“This meeting is a very touching event for all of us. When it all started, we didn’t suspect that so many people would want to play hockey after the show, we didn’t think we’d get to know so many hockey players, and of course we haven’t. Realize that when we reunite ourselves, we will grow, ”says actor Ilya Korobko, who plays defender Mikhail Ponomarev.
Actor Igor Ogurtsov, who plays the role of goalkeeper Semyon Bakin, believes that Molodezhka is the first major series about hockey and sports in general. He remembers how the players went to a hockey game after the first season aired.
“Now they are announcing the third period and they say there will be a photo shoot with the Molodezhka players in the final. At that moment, hockey was over because everyone came to us to get autographs,” he said.
