Created by Nikita Vlasov and Egor Chichkanov, Lada Gold is a 2023 Russian TV series that blends comedy and crime. The show uses original concepts and a Russian cast to tell the tale rather than a direct adaptation across platforms.

At present there are no major awards or nominations publicly associated with Lada Gold. The show has not yet broken into festival circuits or awards chatter, and its recognition may hinge on future seasons and broader release beyond initial online discussions. Future seasons could widen awards prospects if audiences respond.

Even in its early days the premise has a certain eccentric charm that could ignite memes and fan chatter around the gold plated car and its mismatched crew that might spark fan art. The mix of crime grit and offbeat humor nods to a growing subgenre of regional capers.
