Ido Malka Debuts New Look Ahead of "Sweeties" Season Two

The story · English

Actor and singer Ido Malka is set to star in the upcoming second season of the popular Israeli drama "Sweeties" (Matukim), with filming scheduled to begin shortly. Malka has undergone a significant physical transformation for his role, shaving off his signature beard. The series, created by Assi Azar, Noam Nevo, and Yael Katz, originally aired on Channel ZOOM, HOT VOD Young, and Next TV about two and a half years ago, achieving record viewership. It features a cast including Rotem Sela, Amos Tamam, and Azar himself, who made his acting debut in the show.

Malka's appearance in the new season follows a period of personal and professional upheaval. He recently ended a year-and-a-half-long relationship with Yuval Raphael, whom he met while competing on "The Next Star to Eurovision." Raphael ultimately won that season and represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest. Prior to his romantic split, Malka also announced a professional separation, leaving his agency after only 18 months to pursue new opportunities.
