Creators of Israeli hit series ‘Fauda’ announce season 5
Viewers from 190 countries have long celebrated the series which first made its debut in 2015 and was later picked up by Netflix.
The creators of “Fauda”, one the most popular Israeli series ever made, announced that season five is underway.
“We are proud to announce that the series that the whole world is looking forward to, will return only on yes in a sweeping season that will set a new record for the hysteria that has been surrounding it until today. Let’s go, come on Fauda!” said Ilan Sigal, the CEO of YES (network behind Fauda).
The popular series about an Israeli counter-terrorist unit was created by Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz, with the latter playing the lead character Doron.
Viewers from 190 countries have long celebrated the series which first made its debut in 2015 and was later picked up by Netflix. Season four broke viewership records, becoming the most watched series in Lebanon, and ranked on Netflix’s top 10 top of non-English television shows in 21 countries.
The series revolves around the lead character Doron, a retired counter-terrorist agent, who re-joins his old unit to catch wanted Palestinian terrorists. Lior Raz was himself a member of the Israeli elite counter-terrorism unit “Duvdevan.”
With parents from Iraq and Algeria, Raz speaks fluent Arabic, which he uses throughout the show.
The first four seasons, included everything from hostage situations, undercover operations, kidnapping of Israelis in Gaza, the West Bank, and Belgium, to love affairs between Israelis and Palestinians.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
