Israeli actors and real-life friends Lior Raz and Rotem Sela will go on a six-part road trip across Central Asia as part of a new unscripted reality series that will premiere on Netflix next month.
“Off Road” is produced by Candle Media’s Faraway Road Productions and Keshet International, Netflix announced on Thursday. In the series, Raz (“Fauda,” “Gladiator 2”) and Sela (“The Baker & The Beauty,” “A Body That Works”) will take an off-road trip through Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, “while challenging their relationship and their personal beliefs,” according to a synopsis of the new show.
“As Rotem and Lior take to the wheel, a therapist urges them to explore specific themes that arise, including friendship, control, fame, family, fears, conflict, and resolution. A banter-filled adventure is born as they shed their public persona, embrace vulnerability, and trust one another to endure the unexpected twists and turns of their ‘off road’ journey, immersing themselves in unfamiliar cultures and meeting fascinating people along the way.”
“Off Road” was created and executive produced by Raz, Sela and Avi Issacharoff. Raz and Issacharoff co-created the hit Israeli television series “Fauda” and founded Faraway Road Productions, which has produced “Fauda” and “Hit and Run.” The company was acquired by Candle Media in 2022.
“An off-road journey has always been a dream of ours — and we couldn’t have imagined one more challenging, emotional, and unexpectedly full of laughter,” Raz and Sela said in a released statement. “It tested us in every way but also reminded us of the strength of our bond. The greatest lesson we took from this adventure is just how powerful friendship truly is.”
Keshet International CEO Keren Shahar said “Off Road” will give audiences around the world the chance to see the “real” sides of Raz and Sela.
The showrunner of “Off Road” is Gal Raz, who is also executive producing alongside Ido Baron (The Amazing Race, Ninja Israel) of Baron Productions, Avi Nir (Keshet Media Group), Adi Ezroni (Faraway Road), and Keshet International’s Keren Shahar, Kelly Wright. and Saar Dor.
“Off Road” will premiere globally on Netflix on July 10, with Keshet International launching the format at MIPCOM 2025, held in October.
