The first-ranked TV family series of 12 episodes of 54 minutes is called Guilt and is written by Simeon Schwartz.
Series adaptation based on a contemporary Bulgarian novel – The War of the Letters by Lyudmila Filipova with director and screenwriter Svetoslav Ovcharov, has also been approved.
Georgi Dyulgerov will make a feature film, also a film adaptation of a literary work – Grandpa Valyo. Dyulgerov is also the screenwriter of the production.
