The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

However creative producer of the Czech Television, David Ziegelbauer stated it is a separate project, which is related to the humorous series only by its setting. Czech Television originally planned second season called Četníci ze Znojma (Policemen of Znojmo) to release in 2021 which would see protagonists to relocate to Znojmo but it was cancelled due to lack of finances. Situation changed in 2023 when Jan Souček (director of Brno studio which is responsible for the series) was elected new Director-General of Czech Television stated that he wants to revive the series.
