ABC’s BakerAndTheBeauty Creators on Adapting Hit Israeli Romcom Series for the U.S.
Keshet Studios president Peter Traugott, who heads the U.S.-based production arm of Keshet International, said he recognized early on the crossover potential of the Israeli comedy series, which debuted in 2013.
Georgaris, who partnered with Keshet Studios on the NBC military drama “The Brave,” admits he was just as skeptical about the idea of an American remake. “There’s a reason romantic comedies have always been movies, and there hasn’t been a one-hour, romantic comedic television show on network television,” he says.
Expanding on the Israeli original’s 30-minute format allowed Georgaris to broaden the show’s narrative universe, transforming it into more than just the story of an unlikely romance. Georgaris serves as executive producer along with Becky Hartman Edwards and director David Frankel. Keshet’s Traugott, Avi Nir, Alon Shtruzman and Rachel Kaplan are also executive producing along with Assar. Jim Chory and Steve Pearlman also serve as executive producers. The series is being distributed by Keshet International and NBCUniversal Global Distribution.
