Extraktoři
Extraktoři is a Czech action espionage thriller series produced by Voyo Originál.
The story is inspired by real events. The filming itself took place in Prague and Central Bohemia and Turkey. The author of the subject and co-screenwriter is investigative journalist Jaroslav Kmenta.
Extractors offer insight into the world of espionage and international covert operations. It provides a behind-the-scenes look at negotiations with terrorists, a topic that is often kept quiet by the world's governments, although they participate unofficially. Extractors are concerned with ensuring the safety of Czech citizens across borders, even at the cost of complex negotiations and solutions outside of traditional diplomatic channels.
In 2025 the series was renewed for second season which would consist of 4 episodes with Révai and Štáfek set to reprise their roles from the first season. The second season was scheduled to begin filming in Turkey on 1 May 2025. The plot would be set in places like Libya, Colombia, Lebanon, Syria and Iran.
