FOX’s One Day in October Lands on HBO Max

HBO Max has reached a deal with FOX Entertainment for the exclusive U.S. rights to One Day in October.

Premiering October 7, the event series is based on real-life accounts from the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. The series is co-produced by FOX Entertainment Studios with yes TV, New York-based production company Sparks Go and Israel’s ZOA Films.

“The tragic events on October 7 had a profound impact on all of us,” said Fernando Szew, president and head of FOX Entertainment Studios. “From the very beginning, we approached this series with the utmost care, sensitivity and urgency to ensure that the stories were told with authenticity and respect and paying homage to the victims and the heroic survivors. Oded and the incredible cast, crew and teams at Sparks Go, ZOA and yes TV have truly created compelling storytelling that we are proud to showcase. We appreciate Moriah Media for joining us on this project and to HBO Max for giving One Day in October a platform in the U.S.”

“For me, film and television have always been more than entertainment, they are a way to bear witness,” said Daniel Finkelman, founder of Sparks Go. “These are stories of ordinary people facing extraordinary moments. In a time when truth is fragile, the most powerful thing we can do is to appeal to humanity itself. My hope is that these stories will open hearts and spark meaningful conversation.”
