Context: TNT's announcement and Okhlobystin's position

On October 23, the TNT channel announced the return of the hits Interny and Realnye Patsany in a new season.

Zima, where the village residents will see the New Year on screen for the first time. Ivan Okhlobystin, who played Dr. Bykov, expressed hope that all the «old-timers» would return to their roles. Glinnikov's statement shows that this calculation did not fully come true: at least one of the key actors of the original cast will not return to the project.

What the actor is doing now

Glinnikov is currently involved in the series Roddom. According to him, the theme of childbirth has taken on special significance for him, since he recently became a father for the first time himself. For reference: Interny ran until 2016 — the final episode aired on February 25; a total of 14 seasons and two New Year's specials were released.
