LIOR RAZ AND ROTEM SELA STAR IN UNSCRIPTED NETFLIX SERIES OFF ROAD FROM FARAWAY ROAD PRODUCTIONS AND KESHET INTERNATIONAL 

The famed actors and real-life friends’ epic 6-part road trip across Central Asia will launch globally on Netflix on 10 July 2025 

Netflix today launches Off Road, a six-part unscripted reality series starring Lior Raz (Fauda, Gladiator 2) and Rotem Sela (The Baker & The Beauty, A Body That Works) from Faraway Road Productions and Keshet International. Off Road will launch globally on Netflix on 10 July 2025. 

In Off Road (6x40’), famed actors and real-life friends Lior Raz and Rotem Sela embark on an epic 4x4 off-road trip to discover the rugged, breathtaking landscapes of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, while challenging their relationship and their personal beliefs. As Rotem and Lior take to the wheel, a therapist urges them to explore specific themes that arise, including friendship, control, fame, family, fears, conflict, and resolution. A banter-filled adventure is born as they shed their public persona, embrace vulnerability, and trust one another to endure the unexpected twists and turns of their "off road” journey, immersing themselves in unfamiliar cultures and meeting fascinating people along the way. 

Created and executive produced by Lior Raz, Rotem Sela and Avi Issacharoff, Off Road is produced for Netflix by Candle Media’s Faraway Road Productions and Keshet International. Showrunner Gal Raz (12 Steps to Love, The Residents) and producer Ido Baron (The Amazing Race, Ninja Israel) of Baron Productions are also executive producers, alongside Avi Nir (Keshet Media Group), Adi Ezroni (Faraway Road), and Keshet International’s Keren Shahar, Kelly Wright and Saar Dor. Off Road will premiere globally on Netflix on 10 July.  

“An off-road journey has always been a dream of ours—and we couldn’t have imagined one more challenging, emotional, and unexpectedly full of laughter. It tested us in every way but also reminded us of the strength of our bond,” says Off Road’s leads Raz and Sela. "The greatest lesson we took from this adventure is just how powerful friendship truly is.”  

Keshet International’s CEO Keren Shahar, says, “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Lior, Avi and the team at Faraway Road on this new and exciting original production for Netflix. This co-production reinforces our desire to work with great storytellers to develop, produce, and distribute fresh content in any genre and form that sparks conversations. We are extremely grateful to the Netflix team for their commitment and belief in this show, and for giving global audiences the opportunity to see the “real” sides of Lior and Rotem.” 

Faraway Road’s EVP of Content, Adi Ezroni says: “At Faraway we tell stories that transcend borders, inspire and connect, and Off Road is a real dream come true. We are thrilled to branch out into the unscripted space with our partners at Netflix and Keshet International”
