What happens

Prisoners of War (Hebrew: חטופים, romanized: Hatufim / Khatufim, lit. 'Abductees') is an Israeli television drama series created by Israeli director, screenwriter and producer Gideon Raff and made by Keshet. The first season aired on Israel's Channel 2 from March to May 2010, and the second season from October to December 2012. In 2013, Raff stated that a third season was planned, but in 2015 said that a third season did not look likely. In 2010, the series won the Israeli Academy Award for Television for Best Drama Series. The programme was acquired by 20th Century Fox Television before it aired in Israel, and was adapted into the eight-season series Homeland for Showtime in the United States from 2011 to 2020. In India, it was adapted as the 110-episode television series P.O.W. - Bandi Yuddh Ke by Nikhil Advani in 2016 and 2017, with Raff consulting for the series. In Russia, it was adapted into the TV series Rodina in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
