Fauda returns to Netflix on September 8, 2026 with a fifth season comprising eleven episodes. Still led by Lior Raz in the role of Doron Kavillio, the Israeli action series shifts part of its storyline to Marseille, where Mélanie Laurent and Hakim Djaziri are featured.
The story unfolds mainly in 2025, two years after the attacks of October 7, 2023. Haunted by what happened and grappling with profound trauma, Doron tries to regain his balance when a vengeance mission carried out without authorization by a former friend in Marseille pulls him into a new clandestine operation.
This intervention gradually reveals a threat that could unleash a major attack in Israel. Doron then reunites with his unit to try to avert disaster, while the series probes the human cost of revenge and how violence keeps weighing on those who fight it.
Two episodes of the new season will revisit more directly what the characters lived through on October 7, 2023. The series keeps its formula—field operations, undercover work and the fallout—while placing this new plot in a particularly sensitive contemporary context.
Mélanie Laurent joins the cast as Anne, while Hakim Djaziri portrays Saeed. Lior Raz also reunites with Yaakov Zada Daniel, in the role of Eli, and Doron Ben-David, who portrays Hertzel “Steve” Pinto.
The season is directed by Omri Givon. It is written by Omri Shenhar, Avi Issacharoff, Lior Raz, Sari Azoulay Turgeman, Omri Givon, Yona Rozenkier and Nir Berger. Created by Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz, Fauda continues with this fifth season a narrative that has now extended beyond its original geographic frame.
