After the announcement, the casting is also revealed: Eili Chapman ("May they rejoice"), Maya Kay ("Survivor"), Shahar Tabuch ("Closing Hour"), Maya Dagan, Amit Mizrahi, Idan Shalva and Esther Awka and Omri Koli are members of the new version of "The Octet", Giora Hamizer's hit series, which will be broadcast on the TikTok app.
This week, Chamizer announced the return of the hit series, about a decade after it dropped. The production promises that the new season will include "rehearsals for a huge nostalgic show, reenactments of iconic scenes from the original series, old and new songs, and as always in the Khamizer series, many more surprises down the road."
"The Octet 2023" will premiere in original format, declaring itself "the world's first four-you series." As part of it, more than a thousand videos will be uploaded on TikTok and concentrated on the TikTok account "LBRL", some of which are scripted and some spontaneous, depending on occurrence, audience reactions and viewing data. Behind the format is Chamizer and Oded Nafchi's content company, TBC, as well as "Liberal Communications" and in collaboration with TikTok Israel.

"I am excited for the most ambitious, original and complex project I have ever taken part in. We're inventing a new way to tell a story that will completely change the way we consume content on TikTok," Hamitzer said. "In our series there are no episodes, and no matter the order of viewing, 'Drama for You' harnesses the creative power of dozens of creators on TikTok to tell one big story, in thousands of different posts over a period of time. Our goal is to generate the amount of views and buzz that prime-time TV shows dream of."
The teen and science fiction drama "The Octet" premiered in 2005 on the children's channel for Hot customers, and consisted of four seasons that aired until 2013. Alongside creator and writer Giora Hamizer, the series is signed by Robbie Dueñas, the director, Noga Communications and Teddy as producers. The series starred Michael Aloni, Adi Himbluy, Hili Yalon, Avi Kornik, Don Lenny Gabay, Shira Wilensky and Yedidya Vital. The series was a great success, following which Giora Chamitzer and Atara Ofek published a series of books dealing with the tasks of the Octet.
