Monday evening on television screens belonged to a proven classic, which once again confirmed its dominance in the prime-time slot. TV Nova began one of its most important weeks of the year with the return of the legendary Kriminálka Anděl, whose premiere episode attracted almost a million viewers. For the commercial leader, this is a key start to the autumn season, which will be followed by a series of premieres and returns of cult formats.
TV Nova CEO Daniel Grunt described the current days as a pivotal period for the entire program schedule. The television is betting on a combination of proven brands and new additions to cover the widest possible audience spectrum. The strategy relies on the diversity of genres, from thrillers to family dramas and grand studio entertainment.
The premiere episode of Kriminálka Anděl was watched by almost a million viewers, with TV Nova successfully launching its key autumn season.
New series and the return of a singing legend
Tonight belongs to a new series called Boží plán (God's Plan). This series will be a permanent part of the broadcast twice a week, specifically every Tuesday and Thursday. The project comes with the ambition to engage viewers with a strong human story and explores situations where a person's life unexpectedly comes to a halt. The television management believes that the new title will become another pillar of their series production.
Wednesday evening will be marked by nostalgia and new talents. After a five-year hiatus, SuperStar returns to television screens. The format, which the television describes as the mother of all talent competitions, relies on the proven host Leoš Mareš and a newly assembled jury. The goal is to replicate the success of previous seasons and discover new stars of the Czech and Slovak show business.
The program offer for the upcoming days includes these main projects:
- Boží plán — a new series broadcast every Tuesday and Thursday.
- SuperStar — the return of the talent show after five years with host Leoš Mareš.
- Možné je všechno! — Saturday entertainment show with premiere episodes.
- Studna — Sunday television premiere of the acclaimed film.
Premium content and award-winning production
The end of the week will be dedicated to entertainment and film quality. On Saturday, Nova will air the premiere episode of the show Možné je všechno! (Anything is Possible!), while Sunday evening will feature a title that has already resonated with the professional public. This will be the television premiere of the film Studna (The Well) from Oneplay Originál production. This project won three Czech Lions and also received the Czech Film Critics' Award, which underlines the television's ambition to offer more demanding premium content.
After five years, SuperStar returns to screens, which TV Nova considers the mother of all talent competitions on the market.
According to Daniel Grunt, the current program composition demonstrates the station's ability to offer diverse content, from crime series and family dramas to phenomena such as talent shows. The realization of these projects involves extensive teams of collaborators, whom the director thanked for preparing the busiest week of this year to date. Now, attention is focused on viewer reactions and viewership results on individual days.
"When life abruptly stops, it's good to have someone to hold onto."
Outlook for the coming days
The launch of the autumn schedule is a critical moment for the television in terms of market share and advertising revenue. The successful start of Kriminálka Anděl with a million viewers gives the television a good starting position for the rest of the week. Whether high viewership will be maintained for the new series Boží plán and the anticipated return of SuperStar will only be shown by data from the coming days.
The program lineup is now complete, and the television awaits the final verdict of the audience. While the initial numbers confirm the strength of traditional brands, the potential of new projects from Oneplay Originál will only begin to manifest in live broadcasts. Further broadcast dates remain at fixed prime-time slots.
