The final episode of the third season of the crime series Docent, broadcast on ČT1 on Sunday, September 20, drew 1.402 million viewers aged 15 and older, capturing a 37.22 percent television audience share according to ATO data published by MediaGuru.
Audience Ratings Versus Competitor Broadcasts
Television rivals failed to match the viewership figures of the ČT1 crime drama during the Sunday evening time slot. The final instalment of the minisérie Studna on Nova attracted 532 thousand viewers, while the television premiere of Zrádci on Prima finished with 440 thousand watchers.
Docent improved upon its own prior season performance. The finale of the second season in September 2024 reached 1.342 million people. However, the record set by the first season’s finale in February 2023, which gathered 1.92 million viewers for its resolution, remained unbroken.
Director Jiří Strach Addresses Season Four Plans
Shortly after the conclusion of the third season, director Jiří Strach addressed viewers on his Facebook profile regarding the prospect of a continuation. Kinobox first drew attention to the social media post, which indicated that a fourth season depends on finishing another project first.
“They’ll let me shoot Docent 4, but apparently only after I finish the third Anděl Páně,” Strach wrote, according to Kinobox. Kinobox noted that the post utilized emoticons and advised treating the statement with caution, though the production order prioritizes the fairy-tale film over the detective series. Ivan Trojan stars in both projects, portraying both detective Stehlík and the angel Petronel.
Production Timeline for Anděl Páně 3
Production on the third season of Docent commenced in October 2025 ahead of its September broadcast. Aligning a potential fourth series with the completion of the film points toward a projected broadcast window around 2028.
