Fauda season five finished fourth among non-English language series on Netflix for the week of Sept. 7-13, its best showing since the weekly rankings started in 2021.

## Number one in Lebanon
It was a top 10 show in 41 countries, mostly across Europe and Asia, and hit No. 1 in both Israel and Lebanon, where Israeli forces are fighting Hezbollah.
## Two episodes on Oct. 7
Most of the season is set in 2025 as characters live with the fallout, but two episodes drop back into the day of the attacks itself.
