January is traditionally a weak season for commercial TV stations, which is why there are few premiere titles on their evening broadcasts. These, on the other hand, will be added to the main programme of Czech TV from the beginning of January. However, ČT1 will also have a lower number of premieres in prime-time next year than in previous years due to previously introduced savings.
The main TV news of the new year will be the show Peče celá země, which starts on Saturday 3 January, and new episodes of the crime drama Místo zločinu Zlín. The opening episode will be offered by ČT on Monday 5 January 2026. The new episodes will be followed by the series Kamarádi (Prima) at the beginning of the year. However, this is basically the end of the list of premieres of dramatic works in the first time window from 20:00.
Mondays on TV Nova and TV Prima will be marked by reruns of the detective series Specialisté (Nova) and Polda (Prima), Wednesdays and Fridays will be marked by Vyprávěj (ČT1) and Sundays by Kriminálka Anděl (Nova). Tuesdays and Thursdays will again remind of Chalupáři (Nova) before Bratři a sestry appears for its last season, and Prima is also waiting for the return of Polabí, which is fitting Czech films into the series' usual time slot.
Next up is the foreign series Inspektorka Candice Renoirová (ČT1), again on Tuesdays and Thursdays. From the foreign productions, the Slovak crime series Neuer will also be presented, which will occupy the Sunday evening airtime. In January, ČT will also include a rerun of the series Pustina as well as the series Četnické humoresky.
Nova continues with the reality show genre on Wednesdays in the form of Výměna manželek and the dating show Bachelor Česko.
A change from last year will be made to the order of the shows in prime-time, when after the end of the daily series ZOO, Prostřeno (Prima) returns to the time from 18:00, preceded by reruns of Ano, šéfe!.
