The Estonian series 'Dads' is returning for a sixth season and is set to air this Saturday on Kanal 2. This new season introduces a significant time jump, reflecting the characters’ development as they transition from their early childhood to becoming school children. This change brings forth not only new joys but also entirely new challenges, which the series aims to portray authentically from the local perspective.

Director Anna Stepanova highlights that the show is based on an international format with roots in Argentina, yet the stories resonate deeply with Estonian viewers. She provides examples of how real-life events influence the plot of the show, such as the character Aleks dealing with alleged scabies, which mirrors a recent outbreak in Estonia. Issues like lice from previous seasons also seem to strike a chord with local families, establishing a relatable narrative that connects the audience to their everyday experiences.

Though relationships among characters become more complicated in this season, Stepanova assures that the production process has remained smooth. She emphasizes that as long as thorough preparations are made and a professional team is on site, challenges during filming are manageable. This seamless production and relatable storytelling contribute to the show's continued popularity and relevance within Estonian culture.
