The premiere of "The Escape," a new thriller drama from Keshet 12, was held this week at the Tel Aviv Museum. The series stars, including Yehuda Levi, Ido Tako, and Maor Schweitzer, attended the event. During interviews on the red carpet, Levi shared a significant personal announcement he received during filming: the news that he was expecting a baby daughter. He described a moment captured on video where he was overcome with excitement about having a girl.
"The Escape" is a thriller drama inspired by recent cult stories. The plot centers on a former security official, portrayed by Levi, who embarks on a rescue mission in South America to help Yoel, a cult escapee, save his family. The international filming locations fostered strong bonds among the cast, with actor Itay Turgeman noting that filming abroad creates constant opportunities for bonding.
Discussions at the premiere also touched upon the age differences within the cast. Maor Schweitzer commented that he enjoyed working with the younger actors, viewing them as friends. Ido Tako, one of the younger cast members, revealed he doesn't actively use platforms like TikTok, stating it's not intuitive for him, though he doesn't rule out future social media engagement.
Actor Ben Sultan, brother of Niv Sultan, was asked about helping with his sister's baby, whom he shares with Maor Schweitzer. Sultan admitted he's not yet ready for the full responsibility of childcare alone but is involved when they are present, though he expressed less enthusiasm for diaper changes.
"The Escape" was written and directed by Ariel Cohen, Yoav Paz, and Doron Paz, and produced by Reisdor Productions in partnership with Eisenbach Productions. The series is set to premiere on Keshet 12 on October 10th.
