The Israeli broadcaster recently announced that Season 2 is in the works, following on from the series’ success and acclaimed reviews.
Pitch:
What starts out as a normal morning at a small-town high school in Israel turns into a nightmare when anonymous masked figures commit a massacre leaving four students dead. Chaos reeks between terrified parents as a gripping investigation ensues. The lead detective knows this school well as he himself experienced a trauma many years before…
Named after the app that the students use to communicate, Blackspace is a psychological thriller that focuses on the hidden and secret lives of teenagers. As parents, do we know who our children really are?
Federation holds worldwide rights to Blackspace.
