Netflix believes in the power of faith-based film… and in the power of Tyler Perry.
Netflix has extended its creative deal with mega-producer Tyler Perry, in which he’s meant to write, direct, and produce films and series for the streamer, to now include faith-based movies. Perry and Netflix as part of the deal will recruit one of the original hit makers in the current wave of faith-based movies, DeVon Franklin (“Miracles from Heaven”).
Together, Franklin and Perry will produce several faith-based films for Netflix as part of a new multiyear and multi-picture first-look film deal, Netflix announced on May 6.
The first project under the deal will be “R&b,” a modern-day retelling of the story of Ruth and Boaz, one of the Bible’s iconic love stories. Set in Tennessee, “R&b” tells the story of a young woman who escapes the Atlanta music scene to care for an...

Fauda is a series created by Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff. With Lior Raz, Hisham Suliman and Shadi Mar’i. You can watch the fourth season starting January 20 on Netflix.
Fauda in its fourth season in a mix of action, political thriller and the (evident) touch of social conflict. Beyond the evident confrontation (this is not a product about politics), this is a very entertaining series that has rhythm and intelligence and has known how to captivate the viewer with its complex plot, it elaborate characters and above all, its frenetic rhythm and elaborate construction in the parallel stories that have known how to reach an audience seeking big thrills.
This is a great success and excellent entertainment. The action scenes are very elaborate.
This season is just as good as the past ones: more of the same, more than one expects have made Fauda a phenomenon worth watching.
