Oddíl B (Section B) is an upcoming Czech comedy television series directed by Jan Prušinovský and written by Petr Kolečko. The series takes place in a prison environment and was filmed in the spring of 2025 in Jirkov, Chomutov and Nové Sedlo prison.
The series was produced by the production company Offside Men for Oneplay. The series was supported by the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic, the Ústí nad Labem Region, European Union funds (EU Next Generation, National Recovery Plan) and the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
According to Petr Kolečko, the series loosely follows the Most! series in style, but is "several levels edgier" and is intended to offer "darker undertones".
Plot The series, set in the prison service, combines social commentary and comedy. The name "Section B" refers to the most crowded part of the prison, where criminals are placed for the least serious crimes. Young first-time convict David Broulík discovers how it is possible to smuggle a mobile phone into prison, make a vibrator out of a toothbrush, or a crossbow out of a hanger. And whether it is possible to maintain one's own dignity in the process.
