Schwimmer’s new show is based on an Israeli hit TV series called “Bilti Hafich”. The English show is named “Irreversible” and is about a couple, Andy and Sarah, who are somewhat eccentric and self-absorbed. The story revolves around their life trials and tribulations, that are brought upon them by none other than themselves. The series was an instant hit amongst the masses on Israeli broadcast TV and thus, came the idea of its adaptation.

This adaptation of the Israeli TV show is co-written by its original co-creator, Seagahl Avin and the filming will take place in New York. The show is being produced by Schwimmer under Sony TV. Avin is also the executive producer, along with Fedora’s Tolan and Michael Wimer and Reshet TV. The show is predicted to be very promising as it is already loved by many. Hopefully, the English language adaptation will give it a larger audience and hopefully, higher ratings.
