In July 2017 , HBO and Sky Television announced '' Chernobyl '' , a five-part miniseries from Mazin about the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl . The series was filmed in Lithuania and Ukraine . Mazin said that the " lesson of '' Chernobyl '' is n’t that modern nuclear power is dangerous . The lesson is that lying , arrogance , and suppression of criticism are dangerous . " In an interview with '' Decider '' , Mazin said : " If I came to HBO and said ‘ I want to do another season of '' Chernobyl '' , except it ’s gon na be about another terrible tragedy , ’ whether it ’s Bhopal or Fukushima or something like that , I would imagine they at least would give me polite interest . "
