IZZY, the leading steaming platform for Israeli content, will premiere on Thursday Israeli actress Gal Gadot’s only Hebrew-language television role, a drama series called “Kathmandu.”

The 13-episode series is about a young Chabad Hasidic couple, Mushky and Shmulik, who are on a mission to establish and run the first Chabad house in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, for Israeli travelers. The couple face challenges the minute they arrive in Nepal and the series “explores their journey of faith, resilience, and community building in a foreign land.”

During their time in the South Asian country, they meet a diverse group of people including Guyani, a former Israeli soldier turned hostel owner who has a complicated past, and Gadot’s character Yamit, who is on a journey to find her missing sister Opira in the streets of Nepal.

“Yamit’s storyline adds a layer of intrigue and emotional depth, as she navigates her relationship with Guyani and her own identity,” according to a synopsis of the show provided by IZZY. “Kathmandu” originally aired in 2012 and Gadot filmed the Israeli television show, her first and last, before she became internationally famous for her roles in “Fast & Furious, “Wonder Woman,” “Justice League,” and many other films. IZZY released a teaser for the first episode of “Kathmandu” that shows Gadot’s character arriving in Nepal and asking around about her sister.

“‘Katmandu’ captures the essence of Israeli culture and the unique experience of Israeli travelers in distant lands. It also highlights the universal themes of belonging, faith, and the search for meaning,” according to a description by IZZY. “The series is beautifully shot, with the stunning landscapes of Nepal providing a breathtaking backdrop to the story. The cast delivers powerful performances, particularly Gal Gadot, who brings warmth and complexity to her role as Yamit.”

“Kathmandu” will stream exclusively on IZZY. The show also stars Liron Levo, Michael Moshonov, Nitzan Levartovsky, Karen Berger, and Roy Gurai.
