Israel’s HOT commissions romantic drama series from Banijay’s MoviePlus Productions

Corduroy

Israeli broadcaster HOT has commissioned a romantic drama series from local Banijay-owned production outfit MoviePlus Productions.

Created by Hadas Ben Aroya (All Eyes Off Me, People That Are Not Me), Corduroy turns a typical romance on its head, following the forbidden love between Danielle and Ido as it depicts a new generation of relationships.

Starring Dar Zuzovsky (Hostages, Scarred), Nibar Madar (A Wonderful Country, Mo’adon Layla), and Erik Berman, Corduroy challenges traditional tropes and explores love through a different lens, according to the producers.

Movie Plus Productions’ credits include Our Boys, for HBO and KI, and Miguel for Canal+. The company is also behind Academy Award-nominated films Footnote and Beaufort. Banijay acquired a majority stake in Movie Plus in November 2022.

HOT is behind shows that have since been adapted for US TV such as HBO’s In Treatment and Euphoria, as well as Losing Alice, which was acquired by Apple TV+. HOT is also the Israeli coproducer of The Girl from Oslo, for Netflix.
