Slovak TV lineup, Kavej 2 and STVR rebrand

Entities: Continental Film · Lukáš Zedníkovič · Kavej 2 · Disney+ · Diabol nosí Pradu 2

Overview

The Slovak TV season continues to be anchored by the historic drama *Dunaj* and the comedy sequel *Kavej 2*. A preview of the series’ 15th season highlighted new plot twists – including the likely end of the wartime storyline – and the show still draws about half a million nightly viewers, reinforcing its market‑leader status. Czech broadcasters recorded a live sports broadcast that attracted close to 700 000 viewers, underscoring the persistent draw of live television in the region.

STVR’s rebranding plan moved forward: on 1 September 2026 the public‑service network will launch a unified visual and audio identity across its four channels (Jednotka, Dvojka, 24 and Šport). New on‑air graphics, station voices, logos and physical assets such as microphones and studio signage will replace the mixed branding currently in use, aiming to improve viewer orientation across TV, radio and digital platforms.

In the cinema market, *Kavej 2* recorded the strongest domestic opening of the 2026 season with 74 381 tickets sold in 90 cinemas, while the sequel *Diabol nosí Pradu 2* entered Disney+ after a theatrical run that attracted almost 200 000 spectators and €1.6 million in revenue. The success of both films highlights a vibrant Slovak‑language entertainment sector that complements the television lineup.
