"Third Person" was crafted and produced for Israeli audiences, and its sale to Netflix, in its original Hebrew language and featuring Israeli talent, signifies a significant milestone.
"'Third Person' was written and produced for Israel and has now been sold in its original language, Hebrew, and played by Israeli actors to the large and successful streaming entity in the world We thank Netflix for believing in the content and deciding to expose it to millions of people. We will continue to create and tell the Israeli story here and around the world," Nir said.
