CATCHING UP WITH THE CAST OF THE NEW SERIES, HIT and RUN
/Netflix has expanded its borders with the new series, Hit & Run, a co-production with Israel.
'The Killing' & 'Fauda' Producers are back with the new thriller series for Netflix which is guaranteed to keep viewers at the end of their lazy boys!
Lior Raz, Avi Issacharoff, Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin are the co-creators and executive producers, with the latter duo also serving as the showrunners for the series. While Hit & Run might seem like a straightforward revenge-action thriller, the writers did an excellent job at keeping audiences guessing exactly which direction the show will take.
Hit & Run, a 10-episode suspense thriller, follows family man and tour guide Segev Azulai (LIor Raz) , who is happily married to an American dancer and has a young daughter from his previous marriage in Tel Aviv.
Soon things start to unravel when his wife is killed in a hit and run, and Azulai suspects that it was not an accident. He starts digging into her background with the help of his Israeli police detective cousin who also happens to be very pregnant, an old friend, and an ex-lover. He begins to uncover secrets that his beloved wife hid from him and gets him into a heap of trouble.
Azulai must also confront his own violent past as a former Special Forces soldier, and protect his daughter from the threats his investigation unearths.
The exciting international series spans from Tel Aviv to New York, enveloping many different characters and nationalities into this tangled web of intrigue and suspense.
Lior Raz has become somewhat of an international superstar due to his success in the hit series, Fauda. When they created Hit & Run he originally did not see himself playing the lead role but then decided that it was just too much of a challenge to give up.
Alongside co-creator Raz the cast includes Neta Orbach, Kaelen Ohm (Canadian actor) , Moran Rosenblatt, Gal Toren, and Sanaa Lathan.
Hit & Run premieres on Netflix on August 6
