Jerusalem’s ancient streets are hiding a dark secret, and ChaiFlicks is bringing the mystery straight to your screen. The world’s leading streamer for Jewish storytelling just announced that the hit Israeli paranormal thriller series, “The Malevolent Bride,” is officially available to stream!
Set in the heart of the ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighborhood, this isn’t your typical drama—it’s a deep dive into the supernatural.
The Plot: A Hunt for the Unthinkable
A string of inexplicable, violent crimes begins tearing through the community. Two unlikely partners team up to find the source: Be’er, a secular physicist who relies on logic, and Malki Price, a religious psychologist who understands the soul.
Together, they track a mysterious figure named Yedidia Shatz, whose “brilliant madness” is spreading like a virus. Blending Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, and modern feminism, the series is a rare and chilling foray into genre television for Israel.
A Powerhouse Creative Team
The show comes from the brilliant minds behind some of Israel’s biggest global hits, Noah Stollman (Fauda), Oded Davidoff (The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem), and Avigail Ben-Dor Yaniv.
The Cast
The series features a groundbreaking ensemble led by veteran actor Tom Avni (Valley of Tears). Leeoz Levy, a transgender actress, is making history in her first major leading role. They are joined by Hisham Suliman (Fauda) and Maya Wertheimer (The New Black).
What’s Next for ChaiFlicks?
ChaiFlicks co-founder Neil Friedman calls the series “bold and innovative,” marking the start of a massive year for the platform. If you’ve already binged their flagship comedy, The New Black, get ready for even more.
