Following its premiere on Netflix, Rough Diamonds quickly found an audience around the globe:

• Peaking at #5 in Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the world
• Ranking Top 10 in 70 countries at the same time
• Securing #3 spot in Netflix's non-English Top 10 TV Shows

What makes this multi-language crime drama really stand out is the way it effortlessly gives viewers a genuine peek behind the curtain at two traditional communities - both normally closed to outsiders - as they struggle to make sense of a world that is evolving around them.

When prodigal son Yanki sends his family's empire into crushing debt, his estranged brother Noah returns to Antwerp's diamond district to pick up the pieces for the Wolfson family and their business.

Featuring Flemish, Yiddish, and English dialogue, Rough Diamonds stars household names from both Belgium and Israel, alongside up-and-coming talent, and members of the local communities.

Behind the scenes, the combined Belgian and Israeli creative teams co-producing this drama worked tirelessly with the local communities and organizations in Antwerp, gaining unprecedented access to real homes, real businesses, and real official buildings.

Numerous advisors were involved at every step in an effort to guarantee authenticity and accuracy with every aspect of this production.

Congratulations to co-creators Yuval Yefet and Rotem Shamir, and to everyone at De Mensen and Keshet International who has been involved in bringing this stunning drama to Netflix and VRT screens.
