Shtisel Season 3 is Coming, But Filming Has to Wait for Coronavirus to Pass

To all Shtisel fans who are anxiously awaiting the third season of this popular TV series, we have good news and bad news.

The good news is that season 3 is in the planning stage and will definitely be broadcast in the near future. The bad news is that the cast has been under lockup in their own homes in Israel and can't start filming until conditions improve.

If you miss seeing the cast members on TV, here's a teaser. It's a Passover greeting from all the leading actors in the show. OK, we should have posted it before or during Pesach. But we didn't find the video until today, so consider it a belated Passover wish for good health.

As reported by JTA,

The video includes virtual and verbal hugs from series producer Dikla Barkai and actors Dov Glickman (who portrays Shulem); Michael Aloni (Akiva); Neta Riskin (Gitti);  Sasson Gabai (Nukhem); and Zohar Strauss (Lipe).

“We’ll be back soon, as soon as this whole thing is over,” Riskin says, referring to the coronavirus crisis.

The London-based Jewish News organized the video.

“We’ll see you all on the other side of this,” Glickman says, warning those holding seders to stay six feet away from Elijah the Prophet when he visits on seder night.
