Story of His Maid (Season 1)

Story of His Maid (2026) is a Russian period drama series you can watch online on iFILM — set in 19th-century Moscow, where gilded ballrooms hide years of debt and desperation. Count Nikolai Sheremetyev (Matvei Lykov) comes home from war to find his late mother's will bearing a condition: marry within a year or forfeit the estate.

Anna (Milana Bru), the sharp-tongued daughter of a gambling-ruined nobleman, arrives hoping the count will cancel the family's debt. He won't — but he offers a deal: one year in his household as a servant. She's proud, clever, and has no intention of making it easy for him. Society mothers immediately circle with daughters in tow, while these two adversaries spend their days locked in a cold war neither fully controls.

Director Vlad Nikolaev builds the romance on friction rather than instant chemistry. Ekaterina Guseva and Olga Lomonosova anchor the supporting cast. Stream Story of His Maid (2026) online on iFILM.
