Keshet 12's new thriller series, "The Escape" (Ha'Bricha), is set to premiere, aiming to be one of the channel's most impressive flagship shows. The ambitious and precise drama centers on a former security official, portrayed by Yehuda Levi, who becomes entangled in an impossible mission in South America. The plot kicks off when Yoel (Ido Tako), a young man fleeing a violent cult, seeks the official's help to rescue his wife and child. What begins as a simple request escalates into a complex journey involving a persistent past, untrustworthy characters, and unanswered questions.
The series navigates through chases, revelations, and gradually uncovered secrets, building suspense without rushing to reveal all its cards. "The Escape" balances providing enough information to keep viewers engaged with enough mystery to anticipate future episodes. Its strength lies in the combination of an original, thrilling script, precise casting, and a large-scale production that lends the story an international feel, blending foreign thriller atmosphere with local characters and conflicts.
Levi and Tako lead a diverse and stellar cast, including Naya Bienstock, Maor Schwitzer, Ben Sultan, Itai Turgeman, Philip Shaulov, and Yishai Golan. The series' execution, featuring international filming locations, cinematic pacing, and skillfully built tension where each character harbors secrets, elevates it beyond the typical Israeli screen standard, resembling a premium production. The show aims to create a self-contained world where danger can emerge from unexpected places.
Early reviews suggest "The Escape" is a series to watch in the coming months, with its production quality comparable to HBO. The series will air on Keshet 12 on Saturdays at 9:30 PM, with each episode running approximately 50 minutes. It is also available on yes VOD, HOT VOD, NEXT TV, and Cellcom TV.
