Filming for NTV's new detective series, "Flying Squad," starring Ksenia Lukyanchikova, has begun in St. Petersburg. This story follows the unique units of the Investigative Committee of Russia—the "flying teams"—which bring together the best investigators and forensic experts from across the country. They are ready to fly to any location in the country 24/7 and join the investigation of the most complex and high-profile crimes.

The story centers on talented investigator Ekaterina Ozerova (Ksenia Lukyanchikova). After tragic events that nearly cost her her life, Ekaterina leaves the investigative agency. However, circumstances force her to return to the profession and lead one of the mobile teams. Each new assignment becomes a true test for the team, with no time for error.

According to director Anastasia Chashina, *The Flying Squad* is a modern detective series featuring a fast-paced plot and an atmosphere of constant tension. "Beyond the gripping detective storyline, the series explores the realities of the investigator's profession, teamwork, mutual trust, and the people on the front lines of the fight against crime," Chashina adds.

Filming is taking place in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
