Documentaries and Reality Premieres
Reshet 13 at 21:30: Special Forces - Shaldag
A gripping new documentary takes viewers directly into the clandestine world of Shaldag, the Israeli Air Force's elite commando unit, focusing intimately on the fierce battles they fought during the harrowing events of October 7. After years of operating strictly in the shadows, the combatants step forward to recount that fateful day in their own words. The film weaves together firsthand accounts to bridge the broad strategic picture with deeply personal human experiences, turning a military chronicle into an intimate first-person narrative of courage and survival.
Disney Plus: Toy Story 5
Pixar and Disney's powerhouse animated franchise returns for a fifth installment, having already shattered records to become the highest-earning film in the series with over 1.1 billion dollars worldwide. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack reprise their iconic roles as Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie, alongside newcomer Greta Lee. Set two years after the fourth film, Woody now roams with Bo Peep rescuing lost toys, while Jessie manages the room and Buzz acts as her second-in-command. Their orderly routine is upended when Bonnie receives Lilypad, a frog-shaped tablet sporting revolutionary ideas of its own. Directed by Oscar winner Andrew Stanton, the film is now streaming exclusively on Disney Plus.
Thrillers, Dramas, and Comedy Hits
Yes VOD, Hot VOD, and Next TV: Vanished
MGM Plus delivers a taut mystery-thriller miniseries starring Kaley Cuoco and Sam Claflin. Alice Monroe is an American archaeologist caught in a long-distance relationship with Tom Parker, a relief worker stationed in Jordan. When the couple reunites in Paris for a romantic getaway, Tom vanishes without a trace during a train journey to the South of France. Left to fend for herself as local authorities drag their feet, Alice embarks on a desperate search that exposes a web of deeply buried secrets. Israeli actress Dor Zohar also features in the cast.
Apple TV: Brothers
Hollywood heavyweights and close friends Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey reunite on screen for the first time since the legendary first season of True Detective. In this quirky new comedy, they play fictionalized versions of themselves. After Woody's daughter's wedding falls apart, he rounds up his family for an extended stay at Matthew's sprawling ranch in Austin, Texas. There, Matthew's mother casually drops a decades-old family secret suggesting that the two men might actually be brothers. As Woody sets out to uncover the truth, their long-standing friendship is thrown into absolute chaos.
