Given the success of Fauda—the show you should be binging on right now—Netflix announced today that it will partner with the show’s creators, Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, on two more projects.

The first, which Netflix has already ordered straight-to-series, sounds like it would please Fauda fans: According to Variety, the untitled show will be “inspired by actual events and follows a high-stakes global operation by the CIA and Mossad to track down and kill one of the world’s most wanted terrorists.”

The second, tentatively titled Hit and Run, will be a political thriller revolving around a man whose life is thrown into chaos when his wife is killed in a sudden and mysterious accident.

And then there’s the mothership itself—the second season of Fauda will premiere worldwide in 2018.

“Lior and Avi are excellent storytellers and we’re proud to expand our relationship with them,” said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content for Netflix. “We’re drawn to the global vision they have for their projects, each infused with drama, urgency, and relevance to our modern era.”
