Israeli satellite services Yes announced Tuesday a collaboration with the American television giant Fox Entertainment Studios on a drama series about the events of the October 7 massacre.
The series, titled One Day in October, stars Yuval Semo, Yael Abecassis and Naomi Levov, and is based on four true stories from the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7.
Yes confirmed the collaboration with the American company, saying, "Fernando Szew, head of FOX Entertainment Studios, announced the partnership." The Israeli company also revealed that FOX will distribute the series globally.
"This special project, produced by Yes in partnership with FOX Entertainment, Zoe Films, and Sparks Go, is expected to air soon and will support efforts to counter international denial of the events that truly occurred on that dark Saturday."
Yuval Semo will portray Avi Jan, a United Hatzalah volunteer who, along with his colleagues, headed south and saved dozens of lives.
Yael Abecassis will play Sabine Tassa, whose ex-partner was killed when he jumped on a grenade, and Naomi Levov will portray Aya Meidan, a cyclist from Kibbutz Be’eri who survived the massacre. The story of Amit and Gali, two young women who hid in a bathroom during the Nova music festival, will also be brought to the screen.
