Daddy's Daughters (Russian: Папины дочки, romanized: Papiny Dochki) is a Russian TV series produced from 2007 to 2013. Made by "Kinokonstanta" (episodes 1 to 60), "Kostafilm" (episodes 61 to 370) and "Yellow, Black and White" (since episode 371) film companies, it is characterized by various aspects of life — family, love, work, study, and friendship. The series has very high television ratings and has won multiple awards (received four "TEFI"[1][2]). Unlike many other Russian sitcoms of those years, this is an original series,[3] and is not an adaptation of a foreign show.
Protagonist Sergei Vasnetsov (Andrei Leonov), a family therapist from a small private clinic, was in a deplorable situation. His wife, Lyudmila Vasnetsova (Nonna Grishayeva), left him for a hockey player. To make matters worse, his practice is all but collapsing, as all of his patients have left. His wife's departure leaves their five daughters (Miroslava Karpovich, Anastasia Sivayeva, Darya Melnikova, Elizaveta Arzamasova, Ekaterina Starshova) in his care.
A spin-off "Daddy's daughters. New" ("Папины дочки. Новые") was released in 2023.[14][15]
