With the much-anticipated Israeli premiere on June 19 and having previously announced the 2nd season pick-up, Reshet 13 announced that action-packed drama series "Red Skies" (8x50’), based on the best-selling Israeli novel of the same name and inspired by true events, aired to record ratings. The title achieved the highest ratings in five years on Reshet 13 for a first-prime drama series and has the highest ratings on-demand for any premiere in Reshet's history, as well as the most watched show currently on all major VOD platforms in Israel. The official ratings number is 11.3% (overnight+1) and 15.3% (overnight +6).

"Red Skies" is created by Ron Leshem ("Euphoria"), Daniel Shinar (author of the novel "Red Skies"), Daniel Amsel ("Euphoria"), Amit Cohen ("No Man’s Land") and the director Alon Zingman ("Shtisel"). The series is produced by veteran producer Yoav Gross ("Carthago") along with Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen, of Access Entertainment, who serve as Executive Producers.

“We are fortunate to receive this tremendous acceptance in Israel. 'Red Skies' has reached virtually every home in Israel becoming a true event. It’s today’s watercooler talk when we thought these days were gone. Being accepted to international festivals in France, Germany and India, the team and I have hopes that'Red Skies' will reach the hearts of millions globally, as it is already doing locally,” commented Leshem.

"Red Skies is a show that took us on an amazing journey. It's wonderful to see how the show immediately became the talk of the day in every home in Israel and the most-watched show on all the platforms where it is broadcast. For me, this is an expression of how trust in the creation and creators can lead to dreams coming true,” added Gross.
