  • 'Good Boys 3' completes Israel's first film trilogy in 35 years.
  • The film continues the story of the previous two installments.
  • Michael Rapaport joins the cast as a New York billionaire.
  • The plot extends to New York in the new film.
  • The series achieved commercial success with its first two films.

Raysdor Productions, led by Yaki Raisner, is set to complete a rare cinematic achievement in Israel with the upcoming release of 'Good Boys 3' in September. This will mark the first Israeli film trilogy in approximately 35 years, since the 'Abba Ganuv' series. The new film continues the story of Baruch Auerbach (Maor Shvitzer), Ruth Eisenbach (Niv Sultan), and matchmaker Malki Levin (Irit Kaplan), with the plot extending to New York.

Joining the established cast is American-Jewish actor and comedian Michael Rapaport, known for his decades-long Hollywood career. Rapaport will portray Michael Gerstel, a wealthy Orthodox businessman from New York who offers a substantial reward for anyone who can find a suitable match for his daughter. The film also introduces Yadin Gellman, Moshe Ashknazi, Naia Binenshtok, and Yonatan Kasp, who plays Gerstel's personal assistant, Ayzik.

Directed by Erez Tadmor and co-written by Tadmor with Hava Divon, Sarel Piterman, and Sharon Mimoun, the production is a collaboration between Raysdor Productions, United King Films, Comeback Films, and Zoah Films. Raisner stated that completing the trilogy is an exciting accomplishment and part of a larger vision for Raysdor Productions to invest in Israeli culture and create strong, connecting stories.

The first two 'Good Boys' films attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers, establishing the series as a significant part of recent Israeli cinema. This commercial success and loyal audience paved the way for the trilogy's completion. Raysdor Productions, founded by Raisner to foster original Israeli content, is also behind other notable productions like the docu-reality show 'Vart,' the romantic comedy 'B'karov Etzli,' and the drama series 'HaTzvi' and 'HaHitnatkut.' The company continues to expand its diverse portfolio of film and television productions aimed at broad audiences, highlighting Israeli stories and voices.
