Yes's 'Fauda' Season 5 Breaks Viewing Records with 7.10 Episodes
Ahead of the final episode airing tomorrow, Israeli broadcaster yes announced that the fifth season of the series "Fauda" has become the most-watched show in the company's history. This record was achieved despite the season featuring dedicated episodes focused on the events of October 7, which were notably intense and difficult to watch. Yes issued an unusual advance warning about the graphic content, including visuals and sounds that might be distressing to some viewers.
Recognizing the public significance and dramatic portrayal of the "Black Sabbath" events, yes made these episodes freely accessible to the public. This move underscores the episodes' importance as a dramatic documentation of the October 7 events and their profound impact on Israeli society.
Tomorrow at 7:00 PM, a special screening of the season finale will take place at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque. Following the screening, a panel discussion will be held featuring yes's drama department head Dganit Atias Gigi, series creator Avi Issacharoff, director Omri Givon, screenwriter Omri Shenhar, and cast members.
