Six Empty Seats (Season 1)

Six Empty Seats (2021) is a Russian drama series you can watch online on iFILM. A group of co-workers from a Moscow construction firm heads to the airport for a corporate trip to Perm. A mix-up with the e-tickets means they miss the flight and end up stuck in the terminal for hours.

Then the waiting-room TV cuts to breaking news: the plane they missed has gone down minutes after takeoff. A clerical error just saved eight lives. From that moment each of them starts measuring the gap between the life they have and the one they once wanted — old grudges, abandoned dreams, decisions they kept putting off.

Directed by Pyotr Todorovsky, the show spreads its story across the survivors, giving everyone a separate thread rather than a single hero. It's less a disaster thriller than a quiet study of people handed a second chance and unsure what to do with it. Stream Six Empty Seats (2021) online on iFILM.
