A still from Stockholm

The new streaming service Topic is bringing three acclaimed Israeli TV series to North American audiences under a deal with Keshet International. 

“Stockholm” is a comedy about four friends who keep their friend’s death a secret so he can win a Nobel Prize. Noa Yedlin’s film, adapted from her novel, is also being remade in an English-language version.

“Commandments” is a drama focusing on the lives of ultra-Orthodox young men in the ‘religious unit’ of the Israeli army

“Autonomies” is set in a near-future Israel in which ultra-Orthodox Jews have seceded from the rest of Israel. The plot centers on a sensational child custody battle. This series is being developed for an English-language remake that would take place in our politically divided America.
