This Valentine’s Day, Keshet 12 and Keshet International are excited to introduce their latest drama for both Israeli and international audiences: The Best Worst Thing, an engaging eight-part romantic drama crafted by Spiro Films, the esteemed production company behind the Canneseries’ award-winning When Heroes Fly.
Renowned Hollywood actress and Israeli TV star, Ayelet Zurer takes center stage as a breast oncologist sharing her own cancer treatment journey with a male politician. Co-created by Rona Tamir, Tal Granit, and Sharon Maymon, The Best Worst Thing (8x60’) is set to captivate audiences. Produced by Spiro Films, the series is scheduled to premiere on Keshet 12, Israel’s leading TV channel, starting February 19, 2024, followed by its official international launch this spring at MIPTV by Keshet International.
On the fateful day that leading breast cancer specialist Dr. Amalia Levi (Ayelet Zurer) discovers a suspicious lump on her own chest, she also diagnoses the life-changing disease in ambitious politician Micha Hadad (Amos Tamam). As they embark on a shared treatment journey, fueled by both hope and fear, the duo discovers a profound connection beyond their illness. Against the backdrop of a ticking clock, Amalia and Micha realize that the worst thing that could happen to them is also the best thing that has ever occurred in their lives.
