Seven Hours Difference is a Bulgarian television drama, which premiered on 18 September 2011 on bTV. It followed the life of a respectable judge with a connection to the mafia, her family and friends. The action was set in Bulgaria and in the USA. The characters in the TV series are inspired by real people.

Premise[]

Tanya Stoeva is a judge with a strong but controversial connection to her childhood friend Mihail Mihaylov - Miloto, a mafia boss. Tanya's daughter - Maya, is in love with Teo, the son of a famous reporter but Rocky - Mihail's son, wants her for himself. After a night spent together, Maya and Teo are attacked and Maya is brutally raped. After this Tanya sends Maya to her brother in the USA - Boyan. When Tanya begins to suspect Rocky for the rape, a new prosecutor is hired to solve the case.

Development[]

After the big success of the first Bulgarian TV series made after a pause of almost two decades, bTV ordered the pilot for Seven Hours Difference.[1] The series was sold to the Macedonian television network Kanal 5 before it premiered in Bulgaria.[2] The premiere was on 18 September 2011. The first few episodes had very high ratings but after a while viewership dropped to a steady level. Despite that, Seven Hours Difference remains one of the most popular Bulgarian productions ever to be broadcast.[3]

A second season was ordered during the production of the 15th episode.[4] The first season ended on 18 December 2011, spanning 26 episodes.

The pilot ran as a whole 2 hours episode(with commercials), but ever since bTV airs two consequential 1 hour episodes, which although having each an intro and outro, don't seem to be separate. The first season finale was also a two-hour episode.
