Artist is listed as an ongoing series with a "Returning Series" production status, but the next episode or season has not yet been given a firm air date in the official schedule.

overview
What is Artist about?
March 1944. At the front, the Red Army is conducting a confident offensive. The Allies are about to open a second front, and it seems that the final defeat of Nazi Germany is very close. However, the joy of the coming victory is overshadowed by a series of daring and brutal murders. No one has ever managed to see the bandits up close. According to the scant testimony of random eyewitnesses, the composition of the attackers is constantly changing. And every time they leave portraits of the dead at the crime scene. For these drawings and cruelty, the gang was nicknamed "Death's Head", and its leader was called an Artist. It blends drama and mystery elements. The series reflects a distinct Russia style and perspective.
