Shtisel Headed to ChaiFlicks

The streaming platform ChaiFlicks, dedicated to Jewish storytelling, has picked up all three seasons of Shtisel.

ChaiFlicks will start streaming season one of Shtisel in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand on December 14. Created by Ori Elon and Yehonatan Indursky and produced by Abot Hameiri Barkai and yes TV, the series follows the lives of the extended Shtisel family, a warm, closely knit ultra-Orthodox family in Jerusalem.

Yes Studios’ Fire Dance is also headed to the platform and will be available in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Canada in early 2024. Fire Dance is the first television series from acclaimed Israeli filmmaker Rama Burshtein-Shai (The Wedding Plan, Fill The Void). It is a coming-of-age story of a young, troubled woman in a tight-knit ultra-Orthodox religious sect.

“We are absolutely thrilled to bring these two award-winning, groundbreaking series from yes Studios to our subscribers,” said ChaiFlicks’ co-founders, Neil Friedman and Bill Weiner. “Ori Elon, Yehonatan Indursky and the team at yes assembled a phenomenal ensemble cast and created a global phenomenon with Shtisel and Fire Dance and Rama Burshtein-Shai’s first foray into television was one of the most anticipated Israeli dramas of the last decade. Both series will join the thousands of hours of acclaimed films, TV series and documentaries that we have assembled at ChaiFlicks.”

Sharon Levi, managing director of yes Studios, added, “Shtisel has become an iconic series, beautifully portraying a unique way of life through engaging characters and involving storylines. We are so pleased that it has found a perfect new home, alongside the incredible and cinematic series Fire Dance, and that both titles will be made available to the growing ChaiFlicks subscriber base around the world.”
