“True story, I swear.” Netflix has revealed an official trailer for Bad Boy, an Israeli series from the original creators of the Israeli version of “Euphoria”. This series originally premiered in 2023 at the Toronto Film Festival, and was picked up by Netflix there. It’s now set for a streaming debut worldwide on Netflix this May. From Ron Leshem, creator of the original Israeli “Euphoria” from 2012 (which was remade in the HBO version), comes Bad Boy, the award-winning fresh series about youth, survival, and redemption. Inspired by true events, the series follows Dean, a teen imprisoned in juvenile detention who discovers the power of creativity to heal. Starring Daniel Chen, Havtamo Farda, Neta Plotnik, and Guy Manster as Dean. This lively drama tells the story of a troubled teen who is sent away to a brutal juvenile detention facility, and how his humor and wit keep him alive. Doesn’t sound like the most uplifting series to watch right now. But this trailer hints at how imaginative and unique this series is – reminds me of City of God in several ways.

Here’s the fresh official trailer (+ poster) for Hagar Ben-Asher’s series Bad Boy, direct from YouTube:
