Israeli action drama “Fauda” is set to return with its fifth season on Netflix on September 8, and outlets report that first-look images have been released. The new season is positioned as picking up two years after the Hamas-led attack on Israel that begins on October 7, 2023.
The series, created by Lior Raz and writer Avi Issacharoff, originally premiered in 2015 and has become one of Netflix’s best-known international titles. Deadline frames the upcoming storyline through the characters’ continued trauma and the aftermath of the October 7 events, describing the show’s return in that context. NDTV similarly highlights the September 8 premiere announcement and the series’ established popularity. Both sources focus on the release date while providing background on the show’s creators and earlier debut.
