A year later he directed Déjala correr, starring Nicolás Cabré, Pablo Rago and Julieta Díaz. 2003 marked Lecchi's third collaboration with Grandinetti, in El Juego del Arcibel.
In 2004, Lecchi directed one of the shorts presented in the anthology 18-j, a collection of 10 shorts directed by 10 highly acclaimed Argentine directors homaging the tenth anniversary of the 1994 AMIA bombing. On the same year, he created the TV series Epitafios along fellow director Jorge Nisco, a 13-episode mini-series starring Julio Chávez, Paola Krum and Cecilia Roth. It was the first original series produced by HBO and HBO Latin America. He also directed an episode of the series Mujeres asesinas in 2006.
Lecchi has recently directed his ninth feature film, Una Estrella y dos cafés, which premiered 2006 and reunited the protagonists of Nueces para el amor, Pauls and Gil.
