In May 2019, writer Yehonatan Indursky announced that the show would be renewed for a third season.[3][4] On April 8, 2020, series producer Dikla Barkai confirmed that production of a third season of Shtisel, intended to begin in May 2020, had been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.[5] Kveller stated in June 2020 that production of Season 3 has begun.[6]


Overview

The series follows the lives of Shulem Shtisel (Dov Glickman), the Shtisel patriarch and a Rabbi at the local yeshiva,[7] as well as those of the other members of his family. Shtisel is set in a religious, Internet-free neighborhood.[8] The community follows strict haredi customs and violating the norms often causes chaos within the family.[9] However, the characters who are more open to a secular lifestyle reflect Geula's moderation in comparison to their neighbors in Mea She'arim, the adjacent community known for religious extremism.[10]

Cast

Reception

The series is considered innovative for its treatment of an irregular group of Orthodox Jews by stripping them of their political associations and depicting them as ordinary people.[12]

In April 2019, Maurice Yacowar (retired film studies professor and author of The Sopranos on the Couch, Continuum) published an episode by episode analysis of the [first] two Shtisel seasons, titled "Reading Shtisel: A TV Masterpiece from Israel".

In October 2016, it was announced that Amazon Studios was planning to remake Shtisel, set in Brooklyn, New York, under the title Emmis.[13]

In May 2019, Shtisel was renewed for a third season.[14] In May 2019, a dispute with the Israeli Actors’ Association delayed the signing of contracts for the third series.[15] In August 2019, producer Dikla Barkai said, “We cannot confirm Season 3 yet. There are many reasons. Let’s hope. We are thinking positively. I would say it will.”[4]

In April 2020, series producer Barkai confirmed that a third season of Shtisel had been due to begin filming in May 2020, but would have to be postponed on account of the coronavirus pandemic.[5]
