Fox TV series to be partially filmed in Israel

(JNS.org) The upcoming Fox television network series “Tyrant,” which will air on the FX cable network this summer, is slated to be partially filmed in the Israeli city of Kfar Saba. “Tyrant” was created by Israeli filmmaker Gideon Raff – who also created the Israeli TV drama “Prisoners of War” and its American counterpart “Homeland” – and is produced by Howard Gordon, who also worked on “Homeland” and the Fox counter-terrorism drama “24.” According to the show’s creator, “Tyrant” will be loosely based on events in the Arab world, especially Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad went from training in England to be an eye doctor to becoming a mass killer.
