Keshet International (KI) has shored up the worldwide distribution rights to Murder at the Dead Sea, a thriller for Keshet 12 from Yoav Gross Productions.
The series, which launches this month, is currently in postproduction. The team behind it include creator Raz Yuvan and director Tomer Shani, with a cast that includes Niv Sultan in the lead role. It follows the investigation into the death of a pop icon. KI will launch the seven-parter at the London TV Screenings in 2026.
Kelly Wright, KI’s managing director of distribution, said: “Murder at the Dead Sea is a high-end thriller that reinvents the locked-room mystery for today’s global audience. It features a stunning and exotic location, twisty plot, and an outstanding performance from Niv Sultan. We’re thrilled to showcase this murder mystery series at the London TV Screenings as part of our 2026 lineup.”
Karni Ziv, Keshet 12’s head of drama and comedy, added: “We think Keshet 12 viewers are going to love this contemporary reimagining of the classic Agatha Christie whodunnit set in a COVID hotel by the Dead Sea, because it combines the taut suspense of And Then There Were None with the cinematic storytelling of The White Lotus.”
