Markíza autumn lineup and 30th anniversary celebrations

Overview

As the summer season concludes, Markíza has finalized its heavy autumn programming lineup, which coincides with the station’s 30th anniversary on August 31. The anniversary will feature special programming and a retrospective on the broadcaster’s history.

Key returning series include the 15th season of the historic drama *Dunaj*, premiering September 1 at 20:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Series development head Evita Twardzik described the upcoming themes as “Nádej, eufória, hrôza” (Hope, euphoria, horror), noting that the season will depict the liberation of Bratislava and the end of World War II. The fourth season of the daily series *Sľuba* is scheduled to premiere on September 7, introducing new characters played by Marek Fašiang and Simona Kollárová.

Markíza is also expanding its genre offerings with the premiere of *Hriech* (Sin) on September 7 at 20:30. This eight-episode international adaptation of the American format *The Sinner*, starring Kristína Svarinská and Ady Hajdu, focuses on a woman who commits a murder in front of witnesses, shifting the narrative focus from “who did it” to “why it was done”. This launch contributes to a competitive autumn crime drama season in Slovakia, as rival STVR prepares to premiere *Vraždy v dolinách* (Murders in the Valleys) on August 31.

To mark its three decades, Markíza held a large-scale summer anniversary party on a rooftop in Bratislava. The event featured a themed blue carpet attended by television personalities, influencers, and stars from popular series such as *Dunaj*. The celebration included musical performances by singer Tina and actor Kristián Macháček.
