Israeli teens discover they're descended from biblical giants. Puberty just got biblical.
Season 2 • Episode 25
LatestHa'Nephilim is a television programme currently being broadcast on Yes Israeli written by Ruby Doanias and Chen Kliman. It is named after the biblical Nephilim, who are referred to in the show. The second season is said to be broadcast on the Israeli Kids Channel.
Writing
Biblical Nephilim lore awkwardly grafted onto high school drama.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ha'Nephilim represents a rare Israeli entry in the mid-2000s global YA supernatural boom, attempting to localize Buffy-style storytelling with indigenous religious mythology rather than importing vampires.
The series moved from Yes Israeli to the Kids Channel for season 2, suggesting either demographic miscalculation or a deliberate pivot toward younger viewers—neither explanation flatters the original vision.
