Distributed by Israeli distributor DMG, the series was created by Shay Capon and Bat-Chen Sabag, who also plays the lead character, and aired locally on Hot.
All of Dumb’s 73 episodes, over 3 seasons, will be dubbed and aims to build on the 20 million VOD views the show has achieved to date in Israel. The sale follows Rampensau, the successful German remake and further remakes to be produced in France, Belgium, Netherlands and Spain.
“The award-winning original version of Dumb really resonated with audiences in Israel and achieved impressive audience figures. 46% of Israel’s Hot Cable Television subscribers have watched the series and the format continues to gain major international recognition. Dumb is a well-established hit show across multiple territories that will serve WarnerMedia’s audiences well, without requiring a great deal of adaptation.” remarked Nadav Palti, CEO and President of Dori Media Group.
The Dumb format recently won the best Daily Drama at the 2020 Israeli TV Awards, emulating the success of the first two seasons. In addition to recently being nominated for Best Series in the Quotenmeter.de awards, with specific nominations also for individual cast members, Rampensau, the German remake, was also selected as a finalist in C21 Best Scripted Format category in last year’s International Format Awards.
