The Private School (Seasons 1–5)

The Private School (Закрытая школа, 2011) is a Russian mystery drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Mark Gorobets set the story inside a centuries-old manor deep in a dense forest — an elite boarding school where rumours about the woods have always been part of the curriculum.

Anton Khabarov plays new teacher Viktor Polyakov; Pavel Priluchnyy is student Maksim Morozov, the first to realise the legends aren't legends. Every evening the kids swap stories about creatures in the trees and classmates who vanished without a trace. When a teacher actually disappears, those campfire tales become an investigation.

Produced by AMedia for the STS network, the series ran for five seasons and 134 episodes of 48 minutes each before wrapping up — and leaving viewers debating the ending for years. Stream all seasons of The Private School online on iFILM.
