American cable network HBO and Israeli satellite channel YES on Tuesday announced a collaboration in which the two content providers will work together to create new Israeli dramas, comedies and documentaries that will be screened on YES and HBO.
The two companies also renewed their longstanding licensing agreement, under which YES will continue to screen HBO films and series in Israel such as “Girls,” which just began its final season on February 13, “Veep,” “Silicon Valley,” “Falling Down” and others.
One of the newer HBO shows showing up on YES is “Big Little Lies,” an HBO limited series created by David Kelley, based on the book of the same name by Liane Moriarty and starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley as mothers of six-year-olds in a small town.
The show also features Laura Dern, Alexander Skarsgård, Adam Scott, James Tupper, and Zoë Kravitz, and will begin its Israeli season on February 20.

The new collaborative agreement and license renewal all point to a flourishing relationship between the two companies, YES acquisitions manager Dana Stern said.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
