Witches' Hammer (Season 1)

Witches' Hammer (2024) is a Russian fantasy series you can watch online on iFILM. The small riverside town of Kalyazin keeps a secret: a government institute that studies magic. One day its most dangerous captive escapes.

The Mistress of the Elements severs Kalyazin from the outside world and starts turning locals into forest spirits and mermaids. Her endgame is to push humanity out of the real world and fill it with mythic creatures. Three men decide to stop her: Alexei Popov (Vadim Sosnin), blacksmith Nikita Dobrynin (Anton Batyrev) and programmer Ilya Muromtsev (Matvey Zubalevich). The hero names are deliberate — Dobrynin and Muromtsev echo Russia's legendary bogatyr warriors, and director Evgeny Bedarev plays that connection straight.

Action, genuine folk-myth atmosphere and an unexpectedly light touch — that balance is what sets Witches' Hammer apart. Stream the series online on iFILM.
