Why Netflix subscribers can't get enough of The Beauty of Jerusalem
Many Internet users say they have “loved” The Beauty of Jerusalem. “To see without hesitation or moderation”notes a conquered spectator, while another praises “a great series” and his “family story against a backdrop of war”. A third even confides having seen the series “twice a year”. They are unanimous: this melodrama inspired by a book written by Sarit Yishai Levy is not to be missed. Israeli studios Yes Drama purchased the rights to adapt this novel, which has sold more than 300,000 copies. The first season was filmed in 2020, but Netflix only picked up the broadcast rights for the rest of the world in 2022, after an impactful season 1 in Israel.
Netflix chose not to follow the original episode breakdown for The Beauty of Jerusalem
After the release of season 2 on Netflix, in July 2022, the platform announced that a third season would be broadcast. It must be said that the division of episodes by the platform is not the same as that chosen by Yes Drama in Israel. There, the first season has 44 episodes compared to 10 on Netflix. The platform has chosen to make another division to release more seasons. The two parts available on Netflix France therefore actually correspond to the first 20 episodes of season 1 of The Beauty of Jerusalem. But, more than two years after the broadcast of this second round of episodes, no date has been provided by the platform for the continuation. Even though the real second season of the show was broadcast in early 2023 in Israel. For French fans, we must therefore continue to be patient.
