Panelák (TV series)
Panelák is a Slovak daily television series that aired from 2008 until 2017 on TV JOJ.[1] In Slovak, panelák means "block of flats". The soap opera follows the lives of a group of people living in an apartment building. BackgroundPanelák originally aired for fifteen seasons from 18 February 2008 until 17 June 2015 as a daily series, becoming the longest-running television show in Slovak history.[2] In 2017, it was brought back for one more season upon its fifteenth anniversary,[3] from 29 March until 30 August. [4] The soap opera is loosely connected to the earlier Slovak series Susedia (Neighbours), broadcast by Markíza from 2006 until 2007, and later rebooted in 2018. The creator of Panelák, Andrej Kraus, had worked on the older show as well. The two series also shared some cast members, including Kraus himself, and Viktória Ráková. The two actors also worked together on the sitcom Kutyil s.r.o. The show featured appearances by both domestic and international celebrities, including singers Anastacia, Celeste Buckingham, Sisa Sklovská, Zuzana Smatanová, Richard Müller, and Ján Lehotský; tennis player Daniela Hantuchová; and hockey players Marek Uram and Sasu Hovi. Slovak pop rock band Desmod, who wrote the show's title song, also made an appearance. Selected cast and characters
