Neuer, the new procedural crime series from Slovak company KFS Production, is now part of Onza Distribution’s international catalog, the distributor announced yesterday.

CEETV reported first that the new Czech-Slovak co-production has been picked up by the Spanish company earlier this month.

Directed by Michal Kollár, the series is based on Václav Neuer’s bestselling novels and consists of eight 60-minute episodes. The series premiered on September 14 on TV JOJ and it was a resounding success, ranking as the most watched show of the night achieving a 24% audience share.

“We are thrilled to have Onza Distribution join us even before the local premiere in Slovakia and Czechia of our new miniseries Neuer”, commented Michal Kollár, showrunner and director of the series, and Jana Kluková, producer at KFS Production. “This collaboration highlights the truly distinctive nature of the project, with each episode bringing a single book to life in a bold and faithful adaptation. Having Onza on board is a powerful recognition of the global yet local quality of our work and the creative vision behind the series.”

Each episode of Neuer is inspired by a bestselling novel by Václav Neuer, all of them rooted in real criminal cases. The series delivers a raw and unvarnished portrayal of police work within the regional homicide division: Chief Inspector Ledecký’s (Marián Miezga) team members face not only the most everyday crimes, but also the emotional toll these cases take on their personal lives.

“Neuer is a procedural crime thriller with outstanding production values, supported by a strong IP, as each episode is based on a best-selling novel inspired by a real case”, said Erika Gómez, Head of Sales at Onza Distribution. “This reflects the quality and ambition of the best European audiovisual productions.”

With a direct and realistic style, Neuer captures the authentic essence of true crime, balancing the tension of each investigation with the humanity of its protagonists, defined by camaraderie and the constant struggle to remain sane amid everyday violence. This blend of real-life cases and noir narrative creates an unfiltered experience: raw, honest, and stripped of glamour. Just coffee, cigarette smoke, and the cold reality of justice.

“I am deeply grateful to the producers Michal Kollár and Jana Kluková for placing their trust in Onza Distribution to handle the global sales of this series”, added Erika Gómez. “Collaborations like this showcase the strength of European creative talent working together to bring the best content that resonates with audience worldwide.”
At the upcoming edition of MIPCOM, Neuer will be showcased alongside other titles from the distributor’s diverse catalog, including the telenovela Heart Keeper, the comedy Traffic Jam, and Onza’s new documentary series, Vulnerables.
