IQ 160 is a Croatian crime comedy drama television series based on the 2021 Franco-Belgian television series HPI. The series stars Dajana Čuljak as Marina Kapov, a gifted woman that helps Zagreb police solve local crime. It premiered on 24 July 2026 on Voyo.

Premise

Marina Kapov is a cleaner at a Zagreb police station and a single mother of three. Although she hides her exceptionally high IQ of 160, her talent becomes impossible to ignore after she accidentally solves a complex case that seasoned detectives failed to crack. Recognizing her abilities, the police hire her as a consultant, pairing her with inspector Tomislav Ramljak, a strict, rule‑bound investigator. Their contrasting personalities gradually turn into a strength as they work together to solve challenging crimes.

RTL announced the series on 22 June 2026. It premiered on the network's streaming service Voyo on 24 July 2026 as the first Croatian Voyo original. The police station set seen in the series was constructed inside the Vjesnik building in Zagreb. Filming concluded two weeks before the building was heavily damaged in a fire in November 2025 and subsequently demolished in June 2026, making the production the final instance of a Croatian television set being housed in the structure.
