Apple TV+ has picked up its second Israeli drama series this month after taking the global rights to neo-noir thriller Losing Alice.
Apple has partnered with Dori Media on the eight-part show, which is currently airing on HOT in Israel. It premiered at the We Are One: A Global Film Festival and was part of the Cannes Series lineup.
Using flashbacks and flashforwards, Losing Alice tells the story of female film director, Alice (Ayelet Zurer), who feels her powers are waning after having a family.
She meets mysterious young screenwriter Sophie (Lihi Kornowski) on a train and becomes obsessed with her, opening up issues of jealousy, guilt and a fear of aging. The series is created, written, and directed by Sigal Avin.
Apple’s acquisition of Losing Alice follows its deal to co-produce Israel-Iran espionage thriller Tehran. Distributed by Cineflix Rights, the eight-part series features young Israeli actress Niv Sultan as Tamar Rabinyan, a Mossad computer hacker-agent undertaking her very first mission in Iran’s capital.
