'Fauda' Returns for Season 5 – A Story of Chaos, Conflict, and Resilience
Washington [US], March 5 – The hit action-thriller series ‘Fauda’ is officially returning for a fifth season, with production set to begin in late April.
The upcoming season will take the Fauda team beyond Israel’s borders, as the undercover operatives embark on a high-stakes private mission, reported Variety.
