Paramount+ Units ‘Crimson Alert’ Premiere On Anniversary Of Oct. 7 Assaults
Two years after the coordinated Hamas assaults on Israel, which killed 1,200 individuals and took greater than 250 hostages, a four-part scripted collection depicts the tragedy for international audiences.
Paramount+ has acquired worldwide rights to Crimson Alert, a drama collection that includes actual tales of these impacted by the nation’s largest and deadliest terrorist assault, all episodes premiering globally on the streamer and on Keshet 12 in Israel on Oct. 7, two years after the assaults on Israel.
Paramount Chairman and CEO David Ellison mentioned the collection “highlights Paramount’s continued dedication to storytelling by means of inventive excellence and accuracy. This important collection cinematically captures the horrific terrorism that shocked the world on October 7 with harrowing precision and conjures up with these true-life tales of heroism and heartbreak. We thank Avi, Keshet and Lawrence for trusting us with their imaginative and prescient.”
Created, written and directed by Lior Chefetz, Crimson Alert producers embrace Keshet Media Group, Lawrence Bender with Inexperienced Productions and the Israel Leisure Fund.
The premiere comes after Paramount condemned a pledge to boycott Israeli movie establishments, responding to the Movie Staff for Palestine’s (FWP) open letter in an announcement.

“The worldwide leisure trade needs to be encouraging artists to inform their tales and share their concepts with audiences all through the world. We’d like extra engagement and communication — not much less,” mentioned a Paramount spokesperson partly.
Regardless of calling out FWP for “silencing particular person inventive artists based mostly on their nationality,” the group clarified that the letter, which has surpassed 1,200 trade signatures, is geared toward “complicit Israeli movie establishments and firms, given their pervasive involvement in whitewashing or justifying Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime towards all Palestinians.”
