Keshet International is the global production and distribution arm of Israeli media company Keshet Media Group (Hebrew: שידורי קשת). Keshet International was established in 2012 and is now led by CEO Keren Shahar, who was appointed to the role at the start of 2023. The company has subsidiaries in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany that develop and produce Keshet properties as well as original IP with local talent.
In addition to distributing Keshet Media Group properties, Keshet International sells third-party properties and develops and produces localized versions of popular television formats. Programs distributed by Keshet International include Prisoners of War, the Israeli show that Emmy Award-winning show from which Homeland was adapted; Master Class; The A Word, which was sold to BBC One; Rising Star; False Flag, which was adapted by Keshet UK as Suspicion, and When Heroes Fly which was picked up by Netflix and then adapted as Echo 3 by Keshet Studios.
Keshet International is represented by William Morris Endeavor in the United States.
Established in 2012, Keshet International was led by television executive Alon Shtruzman for its first decade.
Keshet International began expanding internationally when it opened London-based Keshet UK in 2012, which co-produces The A Word with ITV Studios, for BBC One. In 2015, Keshet International launched Keshet Studios, a Los Angeles-based studio overseeing Keshet's U.S. activities including production, development, promotion, packaging, and sales of KI's IP and original scripted programming. In 2017, Keshet International acquired Munich-based production company, Tresor TV Produktions GmbH. In March 2018, the global producer and distributor acquired a majority stake in UK production company incubator, investor and business accelerator Greenbird Media and later that same year, Keshet International launched a scripted arm with Tresor in Germany called Keshet Tresor Fiction.
Following Keren Shahar's appointment as CEO at the start of 2023, the company launched a non-scripted division of Keshet Studios to build on its scripted success in the US. In July 2023, Keshet International sold its majority stake in Greenbird to STV Group. Soon after, Keshet International relaunched the scripted arm of Tresor as a standalone scripted production company, Keshet Germany on 1 September 2023.
As a distributor, Keshet International is best known for its scripted formats such as The A Word, which is based on Keren Margalit's Yellow Peppers for Keshet 12 and has been adapted in the UK, the Netherlands and Greece to date; False Flag which Keshet UK remade for Apple TV as Suspicion with Uma Thurman; The Gordin Cell which was adapted in the United States as M.I.C.E. (later Coercion); and Prisoners of War, the Israeli show from which Emmy Award-winning show Homeland was adapted; the International Emmy Award-winning comedy Traffic Light and the Canneseries winning drama When Heroes Fly, which Keshet International sold to Netflix and Keshet Studios' adapted for Apple TV as Echo 3. The global content company has just sold Keshet 12's next hotly-anticipated thriller Trust No One to Netflix in 20 territories ahead of its premiere in Israel.
The group's reality and entertainment properties include Tuesday's Child's The Hit List for BBC One, Keshet UK's relationship format Singletown for ITV2, Help! I Can’t Cook, Girlfri3nds. and Rising Star, the first show on television to incorporate real-time voting via a fully integrated app, which after being picked up in more than 25 territories, became the fastest-selling talent format at the time.
