Bad Blood Add a Title Add a Title Send Send Osnat Saraga Producers: , Or Levy Berger Bad Blood Lab Edition 4 2025 PITCH LOGLINE Ellie swore she’d never return to her hometown. But when her ex-bestie reopens the murder case that shattered their lives, she has to join the investigation. Because after all, Ellie is the killer. SYNOPSIS Ellie (38) doesn’t want to be here. She left her hometown as a rejected young woman with a big mouth and a dominant jawline. Now she’s back with the same big mouth and a jawline that cost her the last of her savings. And it’s all because Zohar (38) decided to stir up the past. As Zohar starts planning the special 20-year memorial of Dror Peretz’s death, she can’t shake the feeling she has had for years: something’s off. Sure, the police called it a tragic self-inflicted accident, but Dror was a star athlete, an outstanding student, and a really hot guy. Guys like him don’t just turn up half-naked and completely dead inside the trunk of their own car after a Purim costume party. And for Zohar, it’s personal. Dror was her husband Yiftach’s (38) adored older brother. Zohar is determined to reveal Dror’s real killer at the memorial event, taking place in one month. When Ellie gets a thrilled message from Zohar about her new investigation, she thinks it would be easy to talk her out of it. But Zohar is too stubborn, and Ellie realizes the only way to derail the case is to get on a plane and join it. Zohar has no idea that Ellie, the new Watson to her Sherlock, is the very person she’s trying to hunt down. And since Ellie’s already forced into what’s basically a never-ending high school reunion with the people who made her teenage years a living hell, she figures, why not use this opportunity to settle some scores and get revenge? Bad Blood, based on the graphic novel by Tamar Blumenfeld, is a dark detective comedy that pairs up the detective and the murderer, two ex-best friends, as they each confront the defining trauma that shaped their lives. It’s not a “whodunit”, but a “whydunit”. For Ellie, it’s also a coming-of-age story for someone who’s long overdue for one. She will have to finally stop using the past as an excuse and face the sins she’s worked so hard to bury. WRITER'S STATEMENT At first glance, Ellie is everything I want to be. Shameless, unapologetic, someone who knows her worth. But the more time I spent with her, I realized I’m not drawn to Ellie because she’s brave, but because she’s terrified. She’s constantly dodging responsibility, constantly refusing to grow up. And as much as it sucks to admit, I totally get that. I get not wanting to move forward. We live in a time when we’re finally, rightfully, shifting blame off victims and onto the people who wronged them. But sometimes it just feels good to be the victim. There’s comfort in it. The pain becomes a shield, a way to avoid risk, responsibility, growth. Victimhood is a hell of a drug, and a damn good excuse to stay in your comfort zone. It’s also a great way to escape accountability. As viewers try to understand Ellie and her actions, Ellie herself is undergoing a belated coming-of-age journey of her own. Even though Dror’s death occurred while she was trying to protect Zohar, and could technically be considered self-defense, Ellie still perceives herself as a murderer. That black-and-white view of herself is part of her defense mechanism. It reflects an inability to hold complexity and a method of avoiding true accountability. It’s easier for Ellie to see herself as a monster than to confront the messy truth. She prefers to stay in “everything happens to me” mode and let her trauma take the wheel as she plays the role of the child who is not responsible for anything. Ellie’s arc in the season demands that she stop running from that complexity and admit that during those awful, confusing moments, she killed Dror not only to save her friend but also because she was jealous of her. As horrifying as it sounds, Ellie envied the fact that Zohar was the one Dror chose as his victim, rather than her. Only when Ellie faces up to that truth and really owns it, can she finally move on. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT "Bad Blood" expresses the voice of a generation. It is told through the perspective of a creator who belongs exactly to this generation of 30-somethings. The story reckons with the complexities of youth- its transgressions and the powerful, polar extremes ranging from deep insecurity and inferiority complexes to reckless overconfidence. Ellie tried to help Zohar but committed a "sin": she withheld critical information that could have completely transformed Zohar’s life, all under the guise of wanting to protect her. Zohar was raped without knowing she was raped. This raises a profound question: do we truly want to know the truths that could shatter the world we think we know and control? I believe this story, with its unique voice, is both universal and timeless. Yet, it remains specifically attuned to today’s 30-somethings and their capacity to face reality. This is a series that will be "must-watch" television in every home.
