Fauda is Netflix's gripping Israeli thriller following Doron Kavillio, a deep-cover agent in an elite Israeli intelligence unit who is pulled back from retirement for one more operation. Created by and starring Lior Raz, who drew on his own military experience, the show presents conflict from multiple perspectives — Israeli and Palestinian — with gritty authenticity and relentless tension. It has become one of the most-watched international series on Netflix.
All 4 seasons of Fauda stream on Netflix globally.
Fauda is primarily in Hebrew and Arabic, with English subtitles. The title means 'chaos' in Arabic.
Fauda has 4 seasons. Each season tells a relatively standalone story, though recurring characters and themes carry through the series.
Fauda is a fictional drama, but creator and star Lior Raz served in an elite undercover unit of the Israeli military, and the show draws heavily on his real experiences. The operational details are highly realistic.
Fauda is notable for attempting to show the conflict from both Israeli and Palestinian perspectives. It has received both praise and criticism for this approach — some find it balanced, others feel it favors the Israeli viewpoint.
