The Ivanovs vs. The Ivanovs

2017–2025 · 8 seasons

A light, lively sitcom about two families colliding, full of warm humour and gentle class-clash comedy.

Overview: Sometimes it seems to parents that their child has been replaced... and two Ivanov families from the south of Russia are simply sure of this: after 16 years, namesakes will find out that their children were confused in the maternity hospital. What if your beloved son is not really your own, but your blood is being raised by strangers? And in a luxury that you never even dreamed of. And how will he accept his new, but painfully poor relatives?
How it feels: Light, warm, satirical and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, class, identity, parenthood
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
