Economic Impact of Heweliusz in Poland
Commissioned by Motion Picture Association
This study, commissioned by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), examines the five-episode Polish Netflix original limited series “Heweliusz” and analyzes its total economic impact in Poland during the 2024–2025 production period. The study also considers the broader effects of the series on the Polish economy.
In 2024–2025, the production of Heweliusz spent PLN 61.7 million in Poland, covering a range of expenses including the compensation of local production cast and crew, and goods and services provided by local businesses.
Oxford Economics estimates that, as a result of this expenditure, the production of Heweliusz stimulated a PLN 78 million contribution to Poland’s GDP in 2024–2025. We find that for every PLN 1 million that the production’s own activities contributed to the economy, it supported a further PLN 1.8 million of activity along its supply chain and through the payment of wages.
We also find that Heweliusz’s production supported a total of 640 full-time and part-time jobs in Poland during the production period. For every 100 people the production directly employed, its expenditure supported 47 additional jobs across the country.
