The multinational mass media company – the third-largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world, which controls HBO, CNN, and Warner Brothers Pictures – plans to produce an English version of the show, the report said.
The show will air on TNT sometime in 2023.
The brainchild of Eight Productions for the Kan 11 Public Broadcaster, IPS, which has so far aired for two seasons, is set in the imaginary Grapes Prison. The satirical sketch program tells the stories of the guards, inmates, and visitors to the prison.
The show first aired in July 2019 and gained an instant cult following. It features appearances by some of the biggest names in the local entertainment scene.
"This deal is the result of very hard work. We are very proud of all the people who helped make it happen," the production company said.
Kan 11 said it was "delighted by the first adaptation of one of our shows in the US. This is another success in the string of successes Kan 11 has had in Israel and around the world."
