Los Angeles – HBO and Keshet International (KI) will co-produce a drama about the tragic events involving the disappearance of three teens that unfolded in Israel two years ago. HBO has given a ten-episode order for the untitled series, which will be filmed on location in Israel next summer.  Created by Hagai and Noah Stollman, the show will be primarily directed by Israeli filmmaker Joseph Cedar.

A co-production of KI’s Keshet Studios and HBO, the show will be produced by Movie Plus and distributed internationally by KI. It will be executively produced by Hagai Levi, Avi Nir (Keshet Media Group), Alon Shtruzman (Keshet International), Karni Ziv (Keshet Broadcasting), Peter Traugott and Rachel Kaplan (Keshet Studios), Noah Stollman, Michael Lombardo and Joseph Cedar.

The show follows an idealistic investigator for the Shin Bet (the Israeli equivalent of the FBI) as he deals with the ramifications of violent reactions on both sides of the escalating conflict. A new command position thrusts him into a confrontation that undermines his faith and worldview, leading to a dramatic conflict between his values and the actions of those closest to him.

Casey Bloys, president, HBO Programming, says, “We’re excited to work with Keshet and this extremely talented and creative group led by Hagai Levi. We look forward to sharing this important story with our subscribers.”
