Russia to release AI-generated series in 2026

Russia recently made headlines across the globe after one of its film directors announced working on a series about AI (artificial intelligence). Director Mikhail Komlev said that the series will take place in seven Russian cities and several BRICS countries, as reported by RT. 

The docu-series which has no title is expected to run for four episodes and will follow the story of AI’s technological advancement from its earliest origins to the present day. Mikhail added that the docu-series will feature countries such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa.

On the contrary, the series will also feature Russian cities including St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Sochi, and Russia’s capital city, Moscow. Moreover, the series will incorporate artificial intelligence into its production during scriptwriting, filming, and editing.

Incorporating AI into the production pipeline has proven to be controversial among artists, content creators, and other creative fields due to the technology’s lack of human touch and rapid advancement. Many artists remain fearful to this day about losing their jobs to artificial intelligence since companies are using it as a method of cost-cutting instead of using it as a tool.

The docu-series will premiere in 2026 across several Russian television channels and cinemas. Each episode is expected to run from 24 minutes to 45 minutes. The series is expected to attract a younger audience between the ages of 14 and 30.
