The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem, the latest Israeli drama from Yes Studios, will soon be accessible on Netflix for foreign fans!
The series, which was previously released in Israel, now joins other important and popular Israeli dramas on Netflix, such as Shtisel and Fauda. As a result of this sensible action, Netflix users in numerous locations across the world will be able to see the first half of Season 1 on May 20, as Variety first reported.
The Israeli TV Academy has previously honored the Beauty Queen of Jerusalem with four awards, including Best Daily Drama.
The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem’s first season will be split into two parts, each with 10 episodes.
The first 10 episodes will be available on Netflix on May 20 and will chronicle the period leading up to the British occupation of Jerusalem. On July 29, the second part of the film will be released on Netflix. The second season of The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem will begin filming in June.
Is “The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem: Season 1” based on a true story?
The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem is based on Israeli novelist Sarit Ishai-best-selling Levi’s novel of the same name. The Ermozas, a Sephardic family in Jerusalem whose ladies are cursed to marry men who don’t love them, are the focus of the narrative.
This period drama also serves as a historical picture of Israel, encompassing the Ottoman Empire, the British Mandate, and Israel’s War of Independence.
Luna, played by Swell Ariel Or, is a rookie to the series. Michael Aloni (Fauda), Hila Saada (Beauty and the Baker), and Yuval Scharf (McMafia) are among the Israeli actors who appear alongside her. They portray the Ermozas and others around them as they navigate love and sorrow.
This historical period piece also examines the dynamics between the region’s many civilizations over the twentieth century.
The story offers a unique perspective on the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian populations that coexisted in Pre-Balfour Jerusalem. The novel depicts how community bonds change over time and how destructive the loss of such relationships can be.
The series might go further into the ideas and characters established in the novel. The teaser reveals some significant changes and additions to the book. The fact that there will be a second season might mean that the narratives will be fleshed out further than they were in the original material.
Hebrew, Arabic, and Ladino, a Judeo-Spanish language still spoken in the Sephardic community today, are all featured in the multi-language drama. The use of Ladino is a risky move for an Israeli TV drama, as it is still unusual. Aloni also offers the dubbed English version of his role.
