LONDON, UK (19 August 2025) Disney+ has today released a new trailer and character posters for the Polish Original series, "Breslau." All eight episodes of the crime series will premiere on the platform on September 12th.

While facing his own demons, he begins a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the murderer, threatening both his career and personal life.
