Filatov — soundtrack to new Suspilne drama 'Those Who Stay'

Filatov's first-ever TV series soundtrack. Suspilne's 8-episode drama about Ukrainian families in post-2022 emigration. Premiere August 2026.

Yevhen Filatov wrote the original soundtrack to Suspilne's new 8-episode drama 'Those Who Stay' — this is his first-ever film/TV soundtrack in his career. The series airs on Suspilne First channel from 1 August 2026 (1 episode per week, until 19 September). Series director — Sergei Loznitsa (documentarian who worked on films about Topolya PR3, Sylvestrov PR2). This is Loznitsa's first art-fictional work. The series tells the story of 3 Ukrainian families in post-2022 emigration — in Poland, Germany, Canada — interwoven through 8 episodes (50 minutes each). Each episode is dedicated to one character of one family. Filatov's soundtrack (total duration 6.5 hours for 8 episodes) consists of 32 music pieces (4 per episode), plus a main theme (4 minutes) in various variations. Filatov created the soundtrack in two locations: during his 6-month Los Angeles residency (January-July 2026, actually in parallel with his own 'After Maneken' album — see separate news) and in Kyiv (September-December 2025). All 32 music pieces will be released as a separate soundtrack album 'Those Who Stay: Original Soundtrack' on 18 September 2026 (with the last series episode) on Filatov Sound label. Loznitsa commented: 'Filatov understands the musical language of emigration not as external observer, but as insider — this makes him ideal for this project.'
