Fauda Season 5 Storms Netflix Top 10 Just One Day After Release
'Fauda' Season 5, starring Lior Raz and Mélanie Laurent, debuted at No. 7 on Netflix's Top 10 in 43 countries, reflecting global anticipation.
Jerusalem, 10 September, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Just 24 hours after its global Netflix release, the fifth season of “Fauda” has scored a remarkable international success, ranking No. 7 among Netflix’s most-watched series in 43 countries.
The rapid rise highlights the worldwide anticipation for the return of Doron Kabilio, played by Lior Raz, and his team. The new season was developed in the shadow of the October 7 massacre, incorporating the trauma and aftermath of the attack into its story. Set about two years later, the season follows the team as it works to prevent a devastating attack while Doron pursues a deeply personal mission of revenge.
The season also introduces international actress Mélanie Laurent, known for “Inglourious Basterds,” alongside Israeli actors Gal Malka and Raymond Amsalem. Despite controversy surrounding its distinctly Israeli perspective, the series has quickly drawn audiences worldwide.
