Česko hledá SuperStar ("The Czech Republic Seeks the Superstar") is the Czech version of Idol series. It is broadcast on Czech TV Nova, first series in spring 2004, the second a year later, the third series in autumn 2006. The show was very popular in 2004, with an audience of more than 3.5 million people (35% population); other media attention was also huge. The further series' rating was rather lower. In 2008, the program was superseded by the X Factor. However, Czech broadcaster TV Nova and the broadcaster of the Slovak version of Idol, TV Markíza, confirmed that both versions would be joined into one. The latest version is called Česko Slovenská Superstar ("Czech(o) Slovak Superstar"), which started in September 2009.

The results of the first series were (the vote numbers are for the last night when the contestants were eliminated):

The finalists also recorded SuperStar TOP 10 album that includes 3 songs that they sing together. Two of the 3 are by TOP 10, "Veď mě dál" (Lead me on) and Superstar. The TOP 5 sing together "Hvězdy" (Stars). Their first single is "Veď mě dál" with 4 versions on the CD single.

There were twelve finalists instead of previous ten, with two eliminated on the first evening. They recorded the SuperStar Top 12 album that includes the single "Hvězda snů" (Star of dreams) that has 4 versions on the CD Single. The winner Vlastimil Horváth's Romani origin (common with Martina Balogová in first series) was widely noted.
