Israeli drama Shtisel is getting an American remake

Deadline

Insatiable creator Lauren Gussis and directed by Oscar winner Kenneth Lonergan are behind a CBS Studios adaptation of the hit Israeli drama that is available. Shtisel is described as "a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story about an ultra-progressive, over-achieving secular eighteen-year-old young woman on the verge of personal freedom, and the strictly observant Orthodox young man to whom she is powerfully drawn – so powerfully that she is willing to uproot her entire life to be with him."
