Viu And Keshet International To Adapt Two Popular Israeli Shows for Indian Audience

Israeli comedy series “The Beauty and The Baker” and “The Stylist” are set to be remade in India after Keshet International struck a deal with OTT service Viu. “The Beauty and the Baker” will be adapted locally in Telugu by Indian producer Annapurna Studios (no relation to Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures). The format will be based on the original Israeli series, which is currently in development for a third season in its home market by Keshet 12, reported deadline.com.

The show, which was created by Assi Azar and features Victor Rasuk and Nathalie Kelley in the title roles, follows the love story between a simple baker and an international superstar. After a chance encounter, it explores whether their relationship can survive her jet-setting lifestyle, her overbearing agent, their different socio-economic backgrounds and both their exes and the media.

“The Baker and the Beauty” centres around Daniel Garcia (Rasuk), who is working in the family bakery and doing everything that his loving Cuban parents and siblings expect him to do.
