Fauda, the acclaimed Israeli thriller series, has surprised fans by confirming a fifth season, according to sources at Deadline.
Reports indicate that Yes, the Israeli network behind the show, revealed plans for the new season at an event this week. CEO Ilan Sigal and co-creator Avi Issacharoff took the stage to make the announcement, as reported by various Israeli media outlets.
Fauda, meaning ‘chaos’ in Arabic, gained worldwide popularity on Netflix, which licensed the first four seasons. The series follows Doron, a commander in Israel’s Mista’arvim counter-intelligence unit, and often delves into the Israel-Palestine conflict. It found a substantial audience in countries like Lebanon and gained a strong following in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. There have even been remakes, such as India’s Hindi version, “Tanaav,” commissioned by SonyLIV.
Season four, launched last year, was initially believed to be the final installment, but today’s news changes that. It remains uncertain whether season five will debut internationally on Netflix or in the U.S.
Fauda was co-created by Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff of Faraway Road and produced by Liat Benasuly and Yes TV. Season four had Noah Stollman as the head writer, with Omri Givon (known for “Hostages”) directing all episodes. International sales are managed by Tel Aviv-based Yes Studios.
Reportedly, Issacharoff and Raz, who drew from their experiences in the Israel Defense Forces for Fauda’s inspiration, will be returning for the fifth season. In 2022, they sold Faraway Road to Candle Media in a significant eight-figure deal.
