The companies have already identified several projects from KI’s existing catalog to develop for the U.S. and global markets. The first project under this new deal is the U.S. adaptation of the Keshet 12 hit comedy series Save the Date, with Dana Fox (Wicked: Part One, Wicked: For Good) attached as showrunner. Fox recently signed an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television, which includes the TV adaptation of the murder mystery board game Clue, currently out in the marketplace. 

Save the Date is a lighthearted comedy about successful wedding planner Dassy, who suddenly finds herself single. When her grandmother’s old love spell backfires, Dassy is unexpectedly juggling four suitors from her past and present. Which man – if any – leads to her own happily ever after? 

The Israeli series features an all-star cast that includes Tomer Capone (The Boys, When Heroes Fly) alongside Adi Havshush (Daddy Issues, Sirens) as Dassy and was Israel’s highest-rated drama of 2024. Produced by Tedy Productions with Reisdor, and created by Ori Gross, Yoav Tsafir, Tmira Yardeni, Tamara Salem, and Tamar Marom, with Eitan Zur as director, Save the Date has recently been renewed for a second season by Keshet 12, Israel's most-watched TV network. 

"Keshet has built an impressive reputation for innovative programming and compelling narratives through their creative vision and international reach,” says Katherine Pope, President of Sony Pictures Television Studios. "We’re thrilled to partner with Avi, Keren, Peter, and their teams, who consistently deliver top-tier global content, and we're especially excited to have the incredible Dana Fox join our first project with them." 

“Keshet and Sony are both known for high-quality, bold, and distinctive content,” says Keren Shahar, CEO of Keshet International. “As like-minded independent companies, we share a creative vision and a genuine passion for developing ideas that resonate with audiences worldwide. Partnering with Katherine and the talented team at Sony feels like the perfect fit and a natural next step for Keshet Studios.” 

Peter Traugott, President of Keshet Studios, adds, “Teaming up with Katherine and everyone at Sony Pictures Television marks a compelling new chapter for Keshet Studios. Working with Sony’s exceptional drama and comedy teams has already been an inspiring creative collaboration, and we’re particularly excited about our first project with Dana Fox.” 

Keshet International is a global production and distribution company renowned for bold storytelling and high-quality international adaptations. Since launching its U.S.-based arm, Keshet Studios, in 2014, the company has built a strong reputation for developing distinctive scripted content for both American and global audiences. Drawing on Keshet’s deep roots in its home market and its close collaborations with leading Israeli creators, Keshet Studios leverages a unique creative pipeline to bring daring, culturally rich stories to international viewers. 

Prior to this partnership with Sony, Keshet Studios and Universal Television together developed and produced acclaimed series, including La Brea on NBC, The Baker and The Beauty on ABC, The Brave on NBC, and Wisdom of the Crowd on CBS as part of a first-look deal that lasted a decade. The partnership continues to yield projects in development, including A Body That Works, the Series Mania–winning relationship drama from Keshet 12. 

Separately, Keshet Studios has produced and co-produced numerous notable projects, including Echo 3 on Apple TV, Our Boys on HBO, Dead Girls Detective Agency, a Snap Original, and A Small Light with ABC Signature on National Geographic and Disney+.
