Paramount+ has released the harrowing first trailer (below) for an upcoming four-part limited series depicting the Oct. 7, 2023 tragedy in Israel.

The project is titled Red Alert and it portrays the largest and deadliest massacre in Israel’s history, when more than 1,200 concert-goers, families and individuals near the Gaza border were murdered and 250 were kidnapped by Hamas. The show’s production credits include Pulp Fiction producer Lawrence Bender and Homeland producer Keshet Media Group.

Red Alert is “draws from the true experiences of those who survived and weaves their courageous personal stories into a cinematic narrative of the devastating terrorist attack that turned southern Israel into a war zone, testing humanity and forging heroism through chaos.”

Red Alert is one of two multi-part scripted limited series coming to streaming in the near future about the tragedy. The other is HBO’s One Day in October, which was announced on Sept. 15 and was billed as being the first project about the attack. A week later, Paramount+ announced its premiere date for Red Alert. Both projects will premiere on Oct. 7, on the two-year anniversary of the attack.

The series is is created, written and directed by Lior Chefetz (The Stronghold) and produced by Keshet Media Group and Academy Award nominee Lawrence Bender with Green Productions (Cinema Sabaya) and the IEF (Israel Entertainment Fund).
