In 2020, the show’s co-creator commented on the series’ popularity saying: “I think part of it is the language, which means that ‘Fauda’ has crossed over into the Arabic language, and we are also bringing the story on both sides, not just from the Israeli side.”
With Fauda’s popularity rising in the region, even Hamas has produced its own version of the show, titled “First of the Free”.
