Season 1 of King of Shumava: Phantom of the Dark Region premiered on December 9, 2022.

It's a few years after the war, and the Šumava region resembles the Wild West - a no man's land, an El Dorado of adventurers, secret agents, smugglers, and border runners. A restless district patrolled by policemen and border guards trying to impose the rules of the new regime. It draws dramatic fates like a magnet. But one stands out. Twenty-four-year-old Josef Hasil first helps guard the border in the uniform of the National Security Corps, only to become, after February 1948, its most feared opponent - later dubbed by the secret police as the King of the Šumava. In the deep forests, in the marshes, but also in interrogation rooms and prison camps, a gripping story unfolds.

Season 2 of King of Shumava: Phantom of the Dark Region premiered on March 14, 2025.

In the second season, viewers will follow the never-ending struggle of Josef Hasil as he searches for a way out of the communist labor camp where he has been sentenced to nine long years, as well as the story of his beloved Marie. Her love for the King of the Šumava will be put to severe tests. Not only must she endure interrogations and the contempt of neighbors - and even her own father - but she also finds herself surrounded by men who would prefer she forget about Josef entirely. Josef must escape the camp as quickly as possible, before there’s no one left to return to. The season will also follow Hasil’s fate after he escapes to Germany and becomes an agent for Western intelligence.
