Israeli Series 'Fauda' About October 7 Massacre Tops Netflix in Lebanon
The fifth season of the Israeli television series "Fauda," which includes episodes directly addressing the October 7 Hamas attacks, has unexpectedly reached the number one spot on Netflix in Lebanon. This achievement comes just two days after the new season was released on the streaming platform.
According to data compiled by yes and monitored by FlixPatrol, "Fauda" is also performing strongly in other Arab and Muslim countries. The new season has entered the top ten on Netflix in 43 countries globally, ranking seventh worldwide. It holds the top position not only in Lebanon but also in Israel.
The success in Lebanon is particularly noteworthy given the season's content, which includes a double flashback episode dedicated to the events of October 7. The production team even issued an unusual viewer warning prior to its release.
Beyond Lebanon, "Fauda" is also charting well in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (sixth place), Bahrain and Qatar (eighth place), Egypt (ninth place), and Turkey, Morocco, and Oman (tenth place). This marks the first season of the series to be distributed globally since the October 7 attacks.
