Thanks to Netflix for presenting different classifications of series from different countries to the global viewers. Among all Shtisel is an Israeli television drama that was picked by Netflix in 2018. The Israeli show revolves around an ultra-Orthodox family, the Shtisels, living in Jerusalem. After the arrival of Shtisel, it accumulates huge popularity. Since Shtisel Season 3 was dropped in March 2021, fans are wondering for Shtisel Season 4.

After the renewal of the third run, the filming was delayed and interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  It’s a really hard time for the entertainment industry to continue a series in proper time. However, despite a little marketing, the series gathered enormous viewership globally following the release of its second and third seasons.

During the virtual panel following Shtisel Season 3 screening in December, the series co-creator OriElon told that the Shtisel family would exist forever, whether in the show or not, noted Jewish Boston.

He said, "I've encountered some writer's block, and I don't know what will follow. Hopefully, there will be two more seasons, and the Shtisel characters will live forever."

Danna Stern, the managing director of Israel’s Yes Studios confirmed in an interview with Deadline that the popular Hebrew-language television series,Shtisel will not be renewed for a Season 4.

“No fourth season in this capacity, but there is obviously still an appetite for that family. So, I think we’re figuring it out. I think there will be something. It’s probably not a ‘Shtisel’ four. We love the story. We love the creators.”

Meanwhile, there is a piece of good news for the fans that there will be an American remake of the Israeli series.

The American remake of Shtisel will show "a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story about an ultra-progressive, over-achieving secular eighteen-year-old young woman on the verge of personal freedom, and the strictly observant Orthodox young man to whom she is powerfully drawn – so powerfully that she is willing to uproot her entire life to be with him."

At present, the American remake of Shtisel is likely under the pre-production stage. But the pandemic is again taking a toll on the entertainment industry and the production could be delayed. So it is hard to speculate the release date for the Shtisel remake.

The American version of Shtisel is penned by Insatiable creator Lauren Gussis and helmed to direct by Oscar winner Kenneth Lonergan. CBS Studios will produce the remake. A distribution platform has yet to be named.

We will surely keep updating the news as soon as we get anything new. Stay tuned to Devdiscourse to get more updates on Netflix foreign language series.
