Israeli television host, screenwriter, and creator Assi Azar has announced the completion of filming for the second season of the popular teen series "Sweeties" (Matukim). Azar shared a selfie from a makeup room on his Instagram Stories, marking "Last day for Sweeties 2." The series, which he co-created with Noam Nevo, Yael Katz, and Noa Guskoff, follows four orphaned siblings running a family confectionery and airs on HOT's Zoom channel. "Sweeties" became a major hit in its first season, attracting prominent actors like Rotem Sela, Amos Tamam, and Eli Chapman. Filming for the second season was previously postponed due to security concerns and scheduling conflicts.
In addition to "Sweeties 2," Azar is actively involved in several other projects. He recently spoke candidly about his struggles with anxiety and its impact on his marital life with his husband, Albert Escola, during an episode of his show "Who Wants to Start?" on Keshet 12. Azar described intimate moments as challenging and revealed that the couple sought couples therapy to better understand and manage these difficulties.
Furthermore, Azar is currently writing a new seven-episode drama series for the small screen, produced by "No Drama" company. The series, which is in advanced casting stages under casting director Hila Yuval, reportedly centers on a betrayed bride, a cheating singer, and a waiter.
Alongside his writing endeavors, Azar and his frequent co-host Rotem Sela are preparing to host the Israeli version of the global reality hit "I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!". This upcoming show will feature local celebrities facing extreme survival challenges and will be broadcast live from an overseas jungle.
