Is Мёртвые души coming back?

Мёртвые души ended 23 November 1984 on ЦТ СССР. The series aired over a span of five days, beginning on 19 November 1984.

Мёртвые души was a drama, comedy, and history series based on the famous novel by Nikolai Gogol. It depicted life in the Russian Empire before the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, focusing on the practice of landowners owning serfs as property. The story explored themes related to societal and moral issues of that period, often through satirical and humorous lenses. The series reflected on the concept of "dead souls"—both the literal count of serfs still registered as property and the metaphorical deadness of the characters' moral and spiritual states.

The episodes had a runtime of approximately 78 minutes each, and the entire series consisted of a single season with five episodes.
