The fictional football phenomenon Lavi is returning to the screen for a final installment, according to announcements from creators and studio materials reported across Czech media outlets. The upcoming comedy, titled Vyšehrad TŘY, marks the conclusion of a successful trilogy that began as an internet miniseries and grew into a box-office giant.
Vyšehrad TŘY Production Launch and Release Plans
Production on Vyšehrad TŘY officially commenced with its first clapboard, and the finished film is scheduled to hit domestic cinemas next year, as reported by outlets including Seznam Zprávy and iDNES.cz. Co-director and lead actor Jakub Štáfek explained that the creative team opted for a deliberate, non-traditional spelling for the title, continuing a playful approach seen in previous entries. According to Štáfek, the filmmakers approached the project with humility toward audiences and a desire to wrap up an extraordinary chapter rather than chase arbitrary milestones.
Cast Returns and Core Dynamics in the Final Chapter
The final film scales back the broader scope of its predecessor to focus tightly on the core relationships that defined the original series, according to production details. Štáfek noted that while the second film featured numerous locations and characters, the third installment will return to a more intimate tone reminiscent of the first season and the initial digital shorts. Central to this dynamic is the reunion of Lavi and his agent Jarda, played by Jakub Prachař. In statements reported by Seznam Zprávy, Prachař described the shoot as a homecoming where the cast gathers in familiar territory on Vyšehrad.
Returning characters rounding out the ensemble include Lavi’s wife Lucie, played by Šárka Krausová, and his son Richard, portrayed once again by Jakub Jenčík, as noted by Gangbang production notes. Additional returning cast members comprise Ondřej Pavelka as Mr. Král, Jiří Ployhar as coach Žloutek, and Lukáš Vaculík as coach Šebek. The narrative will also bring back the betting-ring mastermind Igor, played by Jaroslav Plesl, alongside his associate Oto, portrayed by David Novotný. Director Martin Kopp leads the production, which will additionally feature appearances by real-life football personalities Patrik Berger, Roman Bednář, Jan Rajnoch, and Václav Kadlec.
Box Office Context and Franchise Milestones
The upcoming release follows substantial commercial milestones achieved by the previous theatrical entries over the past decade. According to production data cited by Seznam Zprávy, the initial feature film, Vyšehrad: Fylm, drew roughly 700 000 spectators to become the most-watched domestic Czech film of 2022. The subsequent sequel, Vyšehrad DVJE, maintained strong momentum by attracting approximately 500 000 viewers, securing its status as the most-visited domestic title of 2025.
