Fauda season 5 achieves global success on Netflix
The fifth season of the Israeli action thriller series ‘Fauda’ has achieved significant global viewership on Netflix, sparking intense international discussion. The season, created by Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, was notably rewritten to incorporate the events of the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel. Episodes 7 and 8, which focus specifically on the massacre, have received high ratings on IMDb and have been described by viewers as a ‘gut punch’ and ‘disturbing’ due to their raw portrayal of the events.
The series has seen widespread popularity, entering the Netflix Top 10 in 43 countries. Notably, the show has reached the number one position in both Israel and Lebanon, and has performed strongly across the Arab world, including high rankings in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. This success in the Middle East is considered significant given the regional political tensions. Viewers from various countries, including Germany, Italy, Brazil, and the United States, have shared emotional reactions to the season’s depiction of trauma and the psychological impact of the conflict on its characters.
