EXCLUSIVE: See-Saw Films is understood to be plotting an English-language remake of Trust No One, the highly-anticipated Israeli spy series that will launch in a few days time on Keshet 12 and then Netflix.
The Slow Horses maker, which has just been acquired by Mediawan, is in early-stage development on the project after striking its first deal with Israeli major Keshet. Creatives and casting are still being ironed out and no network is attached. The Israeli version, which launches on March 17, comes from prolific local creatives Ron Leshem, Amit Cohen and Daniel Amsel.
Trust No One stars Yehuda Levi (A Body That Works) as Itamar, the youngest ever head of Israel’s most powerful security agency. Itamar faces his greatest challenge when a cyber leak exposes his agents, starting with Shuruk (Luna Mansour). To combat the leak, he turns to Yali (Yael Elkana), a former cybersecurity expert.

Produced by Shenhar Productions, the original Israeli version of Trust No One is one of Keshet’s highest-profile upcoming shows. The nine-parter was announced a couple of years ago and world premiered at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. Following Keshet premiere, Trust No One will launch on Netflix in 19 territories including the U.S. and UK.
Levi is a huge Israeli star who has appeared in A Body that Works, Fire Dance, Mossad 101 and Yossi & Jagger, while the Trust No One creative team have been involved with some of the biggest Israeli hits down the years including the original Euphoria.
If See-Saw finds a buyer with its version of Trust No One, it would be hoping to hit the breakout heights of Apple TV+’s Slow Horses, which has been a huge hit. Recently renewed for its sixth season, Slow Horses stars Gary Oldman as the head of a division of spy rejects and is based on the Mick Herron books.
See-Saw has been prolific of late, recently finding success with Apple Cider Vinegar, which hit the Netflix TV top-10s last month. The company’s acquisition by France’s Mediawan will be one of the big M&A stories of 2025. See-Saw had been up for sale since last year and Mediawan, which owns Brad Pitt’s Plan B, took a 51% stake.
See-Saw and Keshet declined comment on the English-language Trust No One.
