Director: Javier Fesser
Los Amigos, a scrappy basketball squad from a group home, returns to the court in Championext, a Spanish comedy that swaps hardwood drama for something stranger once eSports enter the picture.
What is Championext about?
After clinching the Spanish basketball title for the first time, the team is stripped of the trophy over a foul committed by Sergio, and the fallout splinters the group. Two years pass before Cecilia, a coach with more optimism than experience, decides to make good on a promise she never got to keep: bringing the roster back together. Her arrival is dogged by a run of bad luck that has teammates half-joking she is bad luck personified, yet the group's stubborn good humor never really cracks. What begins as a modest attempt to recapture old glory tips into something far bigger when Los Amigos land a spot in an international eSports tournament broadcast to an audience of millions, forcing them into a kind of competition none of them trained for.
Cast & crew
Javier Fesser directs an ensemble led by Jesus Vidal, Gloria Ramos and the performer known as Brianeitor, alongside Elisa Hipolito, Sergio Olmo, Jose de Luna, Jesus Lago and Fran Fuentes. The cast largely returns from the earlier film in this story, giving the reunion at the center of the plot a lived-in, familiar feel rather than a forced retread.
Context & significance
Championext continues a Spanish film series built around a basketball team whose roster includes performers with intellectual disabilities, a casting choice that shaped the original film's warm reception and carries through here. Shifting part of the story into competitive eSports gives the sequel a modern hook while keeping its focus on friendship, setbacks and second chances rather than on the mechanics of the sport itself. At 124 minutes, it has room for both the sports-comedy beats and quieter moments between teammates.
Where & how to watch
Championext streams on K-Time with a Persian-dubbed audio track, and the page itself is free to browse without an account. Reading the synopsis, cast details and frequently asked questions costs nothing; watching the film requires logging into a K-Time account. The platform is built around a Farsi-first interface for Persian-speaking audiences, so browsing menus, search and recommendations are designed to feel native rather than translated.
